New ride :)

Picked up my new bike today

Giant Defy 2

very happy with it.

[Piginapoke]

Nice. What's the groupset on it?

[cirian75]

2016 4600 tiagra and trp spyre brakes

[Moaningroadie]

You need to bin the dork disc and reflectors then it will be lovely. Does the Tiagra shift OK? no experience of the newer version.

works very well, I not tell much difference between the Deft 1 (105) and this defy 2 to justify the extra £150

rear one is already gone, my topeak under saddle bag has an led light, and the front one has been removed, inverted and now on to other side of the stem with my front light along side it.

Take no notice of the 'dork disc' and reflector nonsense. The weight and "aero penalty" of those items is almost certainly NOT what will keep you from setting KOMs. Worrying too much about them means less riding time, and almost certainly will affect your performance.

I keep mine fitted precisely to irritate those who are obsessed with removing them. It's probably in "The Rules" somewhere, but "silly fools blindly follow rules"...


...looks like a very nice bike, by the way!
