Nerd Bio
I'm a proud member of the Giantnerd® Nerd Herd. I like to ride my fixie in the summer and snowboard in the winter. I recently started hiking and snowshoeing too which I am enjoying thoroughly.
You can find me at Breck, Keystone or Vail this year on the weekends.

Nerd dollars Nerd Dollars are our proprietary monetary system to get gear. In other words, Nerd Dollars are credit that can be used at Giantnerd® towards the purchase of more gear. $1 in Nerd Dollars is equivalent to $1 in credit towards any product on Giantnerd.com.
To use Nerd Dollars:
In the checkout right above the typical payment methods you will find a box which says “You have $XX.XX available nerd dollars you can apply to this order” When the checkbox is clicked with a checkmark your Nerd Dollars will be applied towards your purchase. The amount you have that is being applied can be seen in the sentence as well as in the total at the bottom.
Nerd Dollars must be used in full unless your Nerd Dollars cover the entire purchase. To put this another way: if you choose to apply your Nerd Dollars towards a purchase you must use all of them; if you have more Nerd Dollars than the total of the purchase you will have some left over to apply to your next purchase; if you do not have enough to cover the whole order you will have to pay the rest with another payment method.

GT GTR Series 3 Road Bike (Beginner) sizing If your wife likes a more upright riding position it is better to go with the XS since it has a shorter top tube. She also falls right in the size range for the XS so I would recommend that. Standover is only one part of the equation and on a semi-compact geometry bike it is less of a factor. Given that she has long legs she probably has a shorter torso which is another reason the XS is the right fit.

Note For William
Hey William, sorry to hear about the issues with your bike. BAMF is definitely not out of business but leaves the handling of customer issues to us. You can give our customer service a call at 1-877-731-6051 and we can talk about your issues and how to get them resolved. It sounds like you expect the Genius Build to last your bike an entire year, make sure you are getting your bike maintained by a professional routinely, especially after the first couple hundred miles as new cables stretch and need a quick tightening to make sure the derailleurs are functioning properly (could be the cause of the chain issue).

Note To Brian Youll
Hey Brian, I am sorry that you had a bent derailleur hanger. When you buy a bike without the Genius Build it comes in a typical rectangular bike box which puts all the parts against each other. With the Genius Build it comes in a triangular box that has the bike completely away from the sides of the box. Derailleur hangers are meant to bend and break in order to save the frame, this way it is a $22 part instead of needing a whole new frame. If we had the hanger we would send it to you however BAMF hasn't sent us the hanger for the Grappler recently.

Trucker_Dan have your neighbor call us immediately!
Trucker Dan, please have your neighbor call us immediately. If he purchased the Genius Build we stand behind our work 100% and will send him a new bike no problem. If he took it to you without purchasing the Genius Build it is not uncommon for a bike to have an out of true wheel, untuned brakes and derailleurs, or other work that needs to be done. That's why the bike must be built by a Genius here at Giantnerd or a professional mechanic.
Everything you're listing sounds like how an unassembled bike would arrive. Again, please have your neighbor contact us immediately so we can use the information in his account to make sure we take care of him fully.

The most durable messenger bag I've ever owned
I own 2 Chrome messenger bags, 1 of them is a citizen which I use the majority of the time and it has lasted me 4 years. The other is the kremlin which I used when I am hauling lots of stuff like groceries or 30 racks of PBR. The citizen is the perfect size for everyday use, I can carry my lock, a jacket, lunch, and a change of shoes with room to spare. The padded shoulder strap is fantastic for long rides and heavy loads. The organization within the bag is well thought-out, there is even access to the space between the liner and bag so you can hide stuff below the main compartment.

Great Value!
This bike is a great value. If you are looking for a new bike without having to eat ramen for the next 2 months to get it this is your new rig. The 6061 tubing isn't your typical circular tubing, it is shaped and looks awesome. Combined with the black gloss paint and minimal decals this bike aesthetically stands above all. You also get 4 decal sheets with your bike to add flare and make it your own style, good luck making any other bike unique without a crapload of work. Make this baby yours!

If you are having this badboy shipped within the continental US you can have it shipped for FREE directly to your door. Unlike some other business that require you to ship to a business we will ship it to whatever physical address you want.

If you like 29er bikes...
If your anything like me your into 29er mountain bikes. The big wheels aren't for show or flash, they are for getting over bigger obstacles and having lower rolling resistance. If you're reading this you likely understand the benefit of 29ers though. So what makes the BAMF 29er different? Lots. To start the 6061 tubing isn't your typical circular tubing, it is shaped and looks awesome. Combined with the black gloss paint and minimal decals this bike aesthetically stands above all. You also get 4 decal sheets with your bike to add flare and make it your own style, good luck making any other bike unique without a crapload of work. More important than tube shape and decals is the performance and BAMF made this bike to perform. Decked out in SRAM components, RockShox Dart 3 fork, and Avid brakes this bike is ready to roll, literally.

FAST & FREE!
This bike ships free to your door, and will get there very quickly. Ironically (or not) this is bike fast and the feeling when riding it is one of freedom. Lame puns aside, this bike is top quality. Click the Specs tab which is right next to the description tab and you will see the details of the bike. Note the full carbon frame, and Dura-Ace component group, and proprietary Tommaso components . You honestly won't find a better frame build or component group in the industry.

So much bang for the buck!
The Tommaso D&D Blue Steel Track Bike is a lot of bang for a little buck, I'll let you put together the sultry joke for yourself. But joking aside the D&D is a high quality bike. The High Tensile Steel is what makes the bike so affordable but don't be fooled by the price, steel is real and that frame will last a lifetime, Tommaso warranties that it will. Click on the video, the first box in the Detail Views / Video to get the full scoop on the Zoolander inspired whip.

Chromoly Steel is Real, This Bike is a Beast!
I own this frame and have built the thing up with aerospoke wheels and mountain bike handlebars that are as wide as Texas. You can see the photo below. It is a strange setup for a track bike but I use it to commute around town and riding it feels like I'm riding a monster truck. The frame is chromoly steel that's built to last, this frame will honestly last you a decade or more assuming a car doesn't ruin it for you. The orange color seriously pops and I get compliments about it everywhere I go. Personally I love the minimal decals on the bike, the is the word Augusta on the chain stay and "Robusta Armatura D'Acciaio" on the seat tube which means Strong Steel Frame in Italian. 5 stars, I love riding this frame!

picking the right size bike
Shahen, the right size really depends on the bike model you're selecting however as a good rule of thumb at 6 feet tall you would want a 58cm.
A road bike that is great for commuting is the Tommaso Imola with Carbon Fork, after 11 miles of riding you will be really glad that you got the Carbon Fork because it will make the ride smoother. It isn't extremely expensive and the frame is durable 6061 aluminum which will make it last for years. You can see it here: http://www.giantnerd.com/tommaso-imola-with-carbon-fork-road-bike-beginner.html

Big Ups rotafix- How to take off a fixed cog without a chainwhip
Daveo,
I'm a big fixie nerd and I've found that without the proper tools the Rotafix doesn't get a strong enough hold, it can get you by in an emergency on the road but in now way would I say that it is a solution to keeping your cog on. You're correct on all the steps to get it off, but please get the proper tools to put it on. I have had my chain fall off my fixie which is in essence the same thing that would happen if the lockring and cog came loose, hoping a curb and bailing into the grass is not the way to go about stopping. Good luck!

Any comments on Diamondback Podium 3 road bikes
Steven,
The Diamondback Podium 3 is a nice road bike. It has Shimano 105 like you're looking for and also has carbon seat stays which is a nice bonus. As far as bikes that we offer I'd compare it to the Tommaso Monza, the main difference being those carbon seat stays on the Diamondback are not on the Monza. I noticed that the Monza is a whole $300 cheaper than the Diamonback which in the end will probably bring you more satisfaction than carbon seat stays but I know some people that would make that trade.
The last thing I wanted to point out was that Tommaso offers a Lifetime Warranty where I was unable to find Diamondbacks warranty for that bike. As always Giantnerd gives you 365 Day Returns, Nerd Dollars ($30 on the Monza), and Free Shipping. Good luck finding the right bike for you and be sure to give us a call if you need any help, 1.877.731.6051 is the number!

shoe sizing...different from company to company?
Charlie,
In general shoe sizing, especially cycling shoes, is nuanced but generally consistent. If you're a 46 in Shimano I would still recommend a 46 in Sidi or other brands. At Giantnerd we have a 365 Day Return policy so don't be afraid to get some shoes and send them back if they don't fit. I would also recommend trying some on and then buying once you know what works for you.

Starter Tri Bikes...
The Tommaso Coltello is what I think Will is talking about and it is indeed the best bang for the buck entry tri bike on the market. http://www.giantnerd.com/tommaso-coltello-tri-bike.html

What should be improved??
Joel,
Thanks for the feedback, we love to hear from members! We have an email in our system that is supposed to be sent to every new user which details their account information as well as the features of Giantnerd such as our Loyalty Program, 365 Day Returns, etc. It also includes how to use our site like checking order history and creating a profile. I will look into the possibility of this not being sent out but it may have ended up in your spam folder so perhaps check again.
If you do find it let us know what you think of it, we would love to make it as usable as possible! Thanks again for your feedback!
Much Love!

Great Value!
This bike is a great value. If you are looking for a new bike without having to eat ramen for the next 2 months to get it this is your new rig. The 6061 tubing isn't your typical circular tubing, it is shaped and looks awesome. Combined with the black gloss paint and minimal decals this bike aesthetically stands above all. You also get 4 decal sheets with your bike to add flare and make it your own style, good luck making any other bike unique without a crapload of work. Make this baby yours!

Forgot about the hassles for shipping
If you are having this badboy shipped within the continental US you can have it shipped for FREE directly to your door. Unlike some other business that require you to ship to a business we will ship it to whatever physical address you want.

If you like 29er bikes...
If your anything like me your into 29er mountain bikes. The big wheels aren't for show or flash, they are for getting over bigger obstacles and having lower rolling resistance. If you're reading this you likely understand the benefit of 29ers though. So what makes the BAMF 29er different? Lots. To start the 6061 tubing isn't your typical circular tubing, it is shaped and looks awesome. Combined with the black gloss paint and minimal decals this bike aesthetically stands above all. You also get 4 decal sheets with your bike to add flare and make it your own style, good luck making any other bike unique without a crapload of work. More important than tube shape and decals is the performance and BAMF made this bike to perform. Decked out in SRAM components, RockShox Dart 3 fork, and Avid brakes this bike is ready to roll, literally.

FAST & FREE!
This bike ships free to your door, and will get there very quickly. Ironically (or not) this is bike fast and the feeling when riding it is one of freedom. Lame puns aside, this bike is top quality. Click the Specs tab which is right next to the description tab and you will see the details of the bike. Note the full carbon frame, and Dura-Ace component group, and proprietary Tommaso components . You honestly won't find a better frame build or component group in the industry.

So much bang for the buck!
The Tommaso D&D Blue Steel Track Bike is a lot of bang for a little buck, I'll let you put together the sultry joke for yourself. But joking aside the D&D is a high quality bike. The High Tensile Steel is what makes the bike so affordable but don't be fooled by the price, steel is real and that frame will last a lifetime, Tommaso warranties that it will. Click on the video, the first box in the Detail Views / Video to get the full scoop on the Zoolander inspired whip.

Chromoly Steel is Real, This Bike is a Beast!
I own this frame and have built the thing up with aerospoke wheels and mountain bike handlebars that are as wide as Texas. You can see the photo below. It is a strange setup for a track bike but I use it to commute around town and riding it feels like I'm riding a monster truck. The frame is chromoly steel that's built to last, this frame will honestly last you a decade or more assuming a car doesn't ruin it for you. The orange color seriously pops and I get compliments about it everywhere I go. Personally I love the minimal decals on the bike, the is the word Augusta on the chain stay and "Robusta Armatura D'Acciaio" on the seat tube which means Strong Steel Frame in Italian. 5 stars, I love riding this frame!
