Just finished this build. Took a while due to funds and I wanted to get it exactly as I wanted it. It is by far and away the out and out best ride I have ridden and I have ridden a few £5k + bikes. It just ticks every box for me and it puts a big smile on my face whenever I get on it.

    Very nice bike! I do like Giants. They've grown on me. :D

    Like the way your Garmin matches the colour scheme. The only thing I would change are the wheels. I'm not a fan of Cosmic wheels. A plain set of deep carbon rims would finish it off a treat! 8)

    Yes, I wouldnt argue with that but just ran out of money. They roll well though.

    Nice, but you need to pull the lever down the rear brake mate.

    Picks were taken after a strip clean so the wheels had been off thats all. The brake relief switch would normally be down

    Does the brake relief give hand relief as well?

    Clearly you are capable of that yourself :P

    Bob, 6.9Kg with pedals and cages. Could get it lower with Mechanical but happy with how it rides.
