Thanks. And yup, doing it bit by bit. I would've bought a higher end Defy but I had been bikeless for about a year.

Nice, do you know the weight of it?

 

[Rob500]

Sorry, I don't know for sure. The blurb on the Giant site says that the 2.5 weighs 9.34 Kgs. But it came with different wheels when I got it. The previous owner had put Mavic Aksiums on it and I put Michelin Krylion Carbon folders on. I don't know what difference that would make compared with the original Alex wheels & Kenda Kriterium tyres.

Probably pushed it down a kilo +, The wheels on my Defy 4 weigh 2.7kilos without tyres etc.
I'm getting Aksiums myself.

My 2010 Defy 4 triple with the Giant fitted mudguard set, spd m520 pedals, spare tube, mini-pump and tyre levers in Topeak seatpack weighs 11.5kg.

11kilos with pedals for me.

Anyone have any suggestions for slimline saddle bags preferably made by Giant or unbranded to go with our new Giant roadies? Ideally something that looks like Stumpy's but unfortunately he doesn't know the model reference

The pro is nice, its a hard shell case, but id spent enough that day on the bike, cages, lezyne pump, tube and tyre levers so opted formthe cheaper bag
