Please help me identify the specifics on my older Giant Sedona? I was generously given this working, older Giant Sedona. I have searched and searched, high and low to find out specifics on the bike, to no avail. I've been to Giant Bicycles website, there's no info available about older bikes and you can't register an older bike either. I have been to Bikepedia, again no specifics about my bike. bikeindex.org, it was never registered there as stolen. I have google searched "giant sedona" and have looked at images for hours trying to identify specifics on my bike. I have spent hours reading links and pages and pages of posts about identifying bikes. It would be neat if Giant or someone would create a site that one could plug in the serial number and find info about a specific bike. I'm surprised no one has done that yet. Nonetheless, if anyone has any useful tips I'd appreciate it. Thank you.
This is a 1996 Giant Sedona. I had this exact bike, right down to the color.
The frame is 4130 cro mo and the tubes are 'triple butted'. If you notice the top tube and down tube are flared at the joints.  The was the 'external butting' and they were also butted for tube wall thickness internally.
The groupset was entirely shimano STX, which, at the price point (about $600 CAD at the time) represented an amazing value.  7 speed rapid-fire shifters, panaracer smoke and dart tires, non descript black quill stem, giant branded aluminum bar, saddle and grips (which were thin and hard, but after a while I got so used to them that any other grips felt mushy).
I can't recall the rim manufacturer and model, but they were 36 spoke....a great bike, and if you still have it, I'd be tempted to offer to buy it, strictly for nostalgic purposes....
