Firstly here is my recently purchased Giant Propel Advanced 3 2014. I am still in the process of tweaking the fit but initial impressions are extremely positive and I'm really happy with the purchase. The bike is standard apart from upgraded wheels and tyres which were included in the purchase. The photo was taken prior to lowering the seatpost so please forgive the cloud reaching height!!
