Our take
The 1999 Giant Farrago is a sturdy, vintage hybrid, ideal for straightforward commuting. Its chromoly steel frame offers durability and a classic ride feel, and the 38 lb weight is quite respectable for a steel bike. The 21 speeds provide good gearing options, and while grip shifters aren't everyone's favorite, they are simple and reliable for casual use. Cantilever brakes are period-appropriate and get the job done. The included kickstand, adjustable seat, and bottle cage are convenient features for a commuter. Just remember, it's a rigid frame, so you'll feel the road more.
