I am leaning towards the Giant at the moment as even though it's very subtle it's probably the nicest looking. If only it had a bit more colour on the frame like the 2018 Roam 0.

Again thanks for taking the time to reply.
The Giant Roam 0 will literally allow you to climb Mt Everest, it has quite low gearing available.

The advent of 11 speed drive trains has seen large cassettes like the 11-42 on the Roam 0, really help enforce the dominance of double cranksets and make single cranksets much more viable for the mainstream.

I really like the look of the 2020 Giant Roam 0 and with you being 70kgs, its 28 spoke wheels will be great for you.
