[QUOTE 3036279, member: 45"]Nice bike. Shame your wheels aren't black though.[/QUOTE]


I do see what you mean Paul. The black wheels do go better with the seatpost, crankset, steerer and spacers. But the handbuilds are much better wheels and weight slightly less then the supplied. I think further down the line the components will have magically turned to silver.

That's what happens if you clean them too much, you wear all the paint off

Right, to be honest, the only thing I am a little bit disappointed in is that the finish is Matt. Would have preferred a gloss finish. But it still looks very smart.

well we can't have a unhappy Mr Ian now can we? just drop the bike down here and i shall sort this out for you!

now is it a Giant Defy Composite 3? maybe the 2013 model?
