Giant Defy Advanced 2 (2012) by SlinkyJ1, on Flickr

My new stead, as yet un-ridden. Just got the seat sorted out and fitted my hand built wheels.

Suspect I may need to remove some spacers, and looking at the pic rotate the bars down a bit, but need to get some miles in first.

Just need work and the weather to let me :roll:

    Thanks guys. Wheels were birthday pressie from the wife last year, built by Ugo (Paolo) on here. The Giant ones seem pretty good but you can't beet a bit of bling, they ride nicely too.

    Do need to sort the bars out though the more I look at it!

    Nice looking bike.
    Can you tell us a bit more about the wheels, thanks.

    Wheels are nothing to special. Mercury Halo rims with Bitex hubs, Paolo weighed them at 1630gm without skewers.

    Are a bugger to keep clean though!

    Yes I am defiantly a short a*se, it makes my 50cm Bianchi look almost normal size :shock:

    On the wheels front Paolo was a pleasure to deal with and would recomend contacting him if you are looking at wheels.
