    Turned out to be a cracked frame. LBS: Dales have been fantastic built up a test bike for me (straight out the box as im a short arse and ride a small) while they wait on a new frame.

    So, hit 1000miles done on it recently, and thought i'd give a bit more feedback.

    Done different rides from fast crit races and club pootles, and i have to say the bike is sublime. I've had to go between the winter bike and this a fair bit over the last two weeks, and i have to say, jumping on this is like sitting on your favourite chair. Everything is so comfy. Power down and it flys, no noticable flex through the frame and stem when in the drops sprinting hard.

    Hit 50mph on it the other week spinning out down a hill, and it was just as stable as doing 20mph on the flat.

    Wheels are fantastic (DA 7900 c24) and the frame is sublime. Smooth but snappy.

    If something happened to this bike, i'd buy another in a heartbeat.

    Great to hear.

    I do like the look of them.

    Well, after much mucking about and crying over the TCR Advanced 3, the kind bloke in my not-so-local bike shop persuaded me to buy one of these (with apologies for the rubbish photo)...

    Giant Defy Advanced 2. Great fit and comfortable for all day in the saddle, yet it is still really responsive. Love it.

    Hi - came across this topic a bit late but I have the same bike and am thinking of upgrading the stock PSL-1 wheels to the C4's you have or even the C35's. Do you think it it a worthwhile upgrade? How did you decide on the C24's? Thanks...
