Haven't heard this mentioned on the board yet, anyone had a look at the Giant Conduct:

They talk about it a bit on this review of the Contend-

For £120 that's a bit of a billy bargain (plus perhaps £12 for a compatible stem) given that the parabox and hope conversion kit are long gone - barely any more expensive than a single Hy/Rd, and surely preferable given there's much less scope for the cables to get gunked up.
Any thoughts? It's post mount which is good given most of the cheaper shimano options now available require flat mount frames.
I'm tempted, unfortunately my mech disk braked commuter has a 135mm cinelli pista stem which I don't think has a Giant equivalent, although face plate looks similar.... might have to cross compare faceplate with my TCR.
