I've been pretty happy with Giant over the years.

Thought I'd share my steed with you. Its a 2014 Giant TCR SLR ALUXX (M/L) which I understand is quite a rare frameset - especially in the UK. Its stiff, punchy and with my alternate Mavic Ksyrium SSC SL wheelset weighs 7.75kg

Really nice bike! Great pix! If the sun comes out I'll take a picture of my Giant.

This is my BigMan with an experimental feature(single chainring).

Interesting. How big is that big ring, and what's the cassette?

3rg0

it is a 52T ring with Campy Record 8 speed cassette...I can mount the 39t ring and front derailleur anytime but I like how it looks like it is now

Started in 2012 with a Giant Defy Advanced 2 as an upgrade to a Scott Speedster. I rode the Defy for 5 years (+15,000km) before my local Giant dealer noticed a tiny crack on the seat tube. The frame was replaced under warranty for a 2014 Defy Advanced 0 frame model. I took this opportunity to upgrade the groupset from the original Ultegra 6700 to a 6800 groupset. Just finished building it up last weekend and tested it out on the smart trainer yesterday!!

(yep, I'm a newbie to this forum!)

I began riding via the purchase of a Giant mountain bike. At the "point of purchase" I was undecided whether to purchase a mountain bike or a road bike. The salesman said, "If you can't decide I would recommend a mountain bike. You can always ride a mountain bike on the road, but a road bike would not hold up to off-road riding." The Revel has carried me along roads on the Panhandle of Florida and throughout the countryside of East Anglia, UK. It seems clear that a road bike would have been the better choice, since I have never ridden the bike off-road.

This thread is for road bike, so I will hold off on posting a picture of my bike, unless the thread owner will allow a mountain bike photo. But, I'm reading the Road Cycling section to learn more about riding, and road riding, to better inform my next bike purchase.

It's a sunny Saturday...time to get outside and enjoy a ride!

Oldie but goody. Bought this one in 2006 new for a ride around Tahoe. It's an amazing bike and still ridden all the time. Many upgrades over the years but still going strong.

Upgrading my old lady to 11spd parts in the next few weeks.

Bought this Propel, lightly used, in 2016.



After getting hit from behind by a car in August 2017, and finding a crack in the non-drive chainstay, LBS replaced the frame with this 2017



I'm fond of the color scheme but I really miss the original. New frame has only experienced a winter season on the rollers so far. I think I'll remove the decals from the wheels eventually. I got hit two days before a century ride, so I was glad to still have this 2008 TCR I rode for many years before the Propel.



I've just put a (tight) fitting set of 28mm tires on the TCR to see how it would handle a local rail trail so I can get the kids out riding.

SL1's a great looking and performing bike - loved the brushed Aluminium. Unfortunately the lacquer failed on mine -though it was replaced under warranty with the SLR frameset (matt black).

I love this paint scheme.

DCwheeler

Agreed!

str8jakett

So much cleaner than the current frame. Main reason I miss it!

Another Propel. This one is an SL 2017 though. I wish I could take the Giant Decals off of the wheels but they are under the clear coat.

Last posted this bike I think 6 months ago it looks about the same after 3k miles. It has new elite bottle cages and a stages power meter which cant be seen.

Silver Steve

Really nice looking bike.
The Propels look so much better with Di2 IMO. There's something about those shift cables entering the top tube that looks off to me.

str8jakett

Agree, this is a great looking bike, especially with the lack of shifter cables. Is that a Giant saddle, or where did you find that color? I thought about doing saddle and bar tape highlights to mine.
