A bit of love for the Giant.
Apart from being quite a noisy bike, I am really pleased with it. Very comfortable to ride and with gearing just low enough to allow for only minor grimacing on the local climbs.
The noises though are a bit annoying. I fixed one the other day - a creak from the seat post by applying excessive amounts of grease (it was greased already of course, but now it's greased some more, as it cures the creak, for a while at least).
I sorted rattles from the through the frame cabling by cable tying various cables together before they enter the frame.
But I've still got a loud buzzing rattle from the brakes/shifter area on coarse tarmac. That one is taking some finding, and I think I'm just going to have to live with it.
Otherwise it's all good (early issues with gently rubbing brakes were a poor set up from the shop and sorted once I had a proper fiddle - not the bike's fault).
