Not sure if this is too late. I had a Giant Roam XR2 for a few years (2010 model). It was a great bike. Very solid, and the hydraulic brakes were superb. First time I used the brakes in the rain, I nearly went over the handlebars. The weight was a bit high, about 12.5 kg, due to the brakes and heavy wheels. But I'd buy a Giant again.
I can't comment on the Lapierre. The reviews I've read would seem to rate Giant better than Lapierre.
