Quick question (auction ending soon) - flat mount brakes?

johngti

Just quickly - does this frame look like it’s flat mount brakes? Been confusing me a little as, going by the paint job, that year’s defy should have been post mount. Just considering whether to increase my bid a bit to see if I can hit the reserve price. Cheers!

Looks like it could be flat mount as I can't see anything sticking up where the rear mounts are, impossible to tell about the fork at that angle. No guarantees of course

Yeah. That’s what I thought. There would be a post on the fork too I think. (Other angles help with the view!). Thanks V

Pics in the original listing are a bit clearer and confirm the front fixings are flat mount.

Reserve is £350. I’d need to pay postage on top, buy headset/bottom bracket/derailleur hanger/through axles as well. Not sure it’s worth the extra expense. At £300 I’d have been tempted.

Oh well!

Found it. Definitely not worth it.
