My Giant Propel Advanced Build (complete build)

jon_lee9900

As there are not very many pictures of the new Giant Propel Advanced, especially from the frameset, I thought I would share my build with you.
I chose to build the frameset as I felt that the factory builds would not suit my riding and for the personal satisfaction.
I choose each component myself to suit my riding style and my riding environment.

Collected the frameset from the Giant shop. Headset, forks and BB installed.

Let me know what you think. The ride is incredible. Very stiff, very fast and very comfortable.

Thanks for posting. As you say not seen many of these about, think they're pretty rare. Will look forward to the progress pictures.

The new Propel? Is it just a different colourway?

That's a beaut. I don't think I will ever get tired of Giant.

Nice one and good shed shots.

Definitely needs a new coat of creosote, though. Does the bike stay in the shed? If I were a robber, I'd bypass the padlock and rip the hinge straight out the wood. Best keep the bike in the bedroom.

Not really a fan of Giants but that's nice 8) and I must admit admiring one in the Cambridge Giant shop window;pretty sure I could get away with it with the other half by saying "well it's just like Marcels'" :roll:

Thoroughly recommend the Fourier brake upgrade. Fantastic bikes though and hope you enjoy it.
