2015 Giant Defy Advanced Pro 0

I ordered this bike and October and finally picked it up yesterday.

I'm 6' and the bike is a size M/L. So far the fit seems pretty good.

Some 'before' pictures:

Here are my modifications:
- upgraded bars to 44cm Giant Carbon SLR
- switched saddle to Arione VS
- Ultegra 6800 pedals
- Garmin 510 on Bar Fly 2.0 paired with RideSense
- Arundel Mandible cage
- custom wheels

Here are the wheel details:
- HED Belgium Plus 32 hole rims
- White Industries CLD black
- Sapim Race black spokes, 3 cross
- Sapim brass black nipples
- Shimano RT99 140mm rotors

If you're looking for custom wheels in the GTA, I had a very positive experience with Corey Wood at Urbane Cyclist.

The tires are Continental 4 Season 28mm, and there's plenty of clearance for bigger.

Looking forward to first ride tomorrow!

Looks good, very long wait time mind you.

I enquired about one of these a few weeks back at a Giant Store and was told that they are going to have to wait until the 2016 model comes out, a difficult model to find/buy.
