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.My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

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.My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

Yeah, colour scheme is really nice especially with the water bottle.
Three is a charm, so they say.0
