First ride today. It's very very good. Perhaps the nicest alu frame I've ridden, 28's help.

Even the tyres themselves seem good. Wheels a bit weighty. Nice.

Looks nice, whats the little wire thingy sticking out near the stem?

It's the Giant Conduct hydraulic system. So cable goes into there, then converts itself to hydraulic in that part and the calipers are fully hydraulic.

An odd half way house. Saves costs. But works very very well. Better IMO than TRP Hy Rd etc but adds a tad more weight.

Yeah, colour scheme is really nice especially with the water bottle.

Three is a charm, so they say.
