Right can anyone tell the model of this bike please? Im buying it off a guy from work but he doesn't know they model himself.  Just wondering what guys would price it at? I'm not much of a bike expert. 
All I know it's got Hydraulic front/rear brakes.
Hard tail.
21 gears.

It's a giant. 
Model looks like it's written on the top tube in front of the seat post. Just have a look.

Someone who doesn't know about bikes will be suprised how much they're worth.. I bought a Specialized Enduro at the start of the year and paid a lot more than I was first going to pay for it.
Also got a cheap Ralleigh that I use for work and back

Quite right, and the good stuff holds it's value well! I'm debating selling my 2011 road bike and paying the little bit extra for the 2012 model
