About this product
This is a vintage 1980 Giant Nutra Hybrid Bike, featuring a 22.5" XXL chromoly steel frame, suitable for unisex adults. It comes equipped with 700C wheels, a 21-speed Shimano Java Bar commuter setup, and trigger shifters. The bike has a flat bar handlebar, cantilever brakes, and no suspension. Practical features include an adjustable seat, kickstand, and bull horns, making it a versatile option for commuting or general riding.
Our take
Riding this 1980 Giant Nutra feels like a trip back in time, in a good way. The chromoly steel frame offers a classic, durable feel, though at 40 lbs, it's certainly not a lightweight. The 21-speed Shimano setup provides plenty of gearing for varied terrain, and the flat bar with bull horns gives multiple hand positions for longer rides. The cantilever brakes are reliable for a vintage model, but don't expect the stopping power of modern disc brakes. It's a solid, no-frills hybrid that's built to last, ideal for someone looking for a dependable commuter with a bit of history, provided you appreciate its vintage attributes.
