Surely the reflectors, especially the kids ones on the wheels, are the first things to come off. Had you only just nicked it?

By far the best bike I've ever owned suited my riding style perfect, deadly fast on the straight and could really handle the power being put down, some chav is enjoying it somewhere now though looked gorgeous!

something like that im not averse to having shiney reflective things on bikes especially viewable from the side or rear
i have my reasons and if they come off at any point i will be adding more. think ive some kelloggs ones knocking around

yeah i get that see the giant thing looks awkward with odd bends ont' tubes making a curve away from the cables and then stupid skinny tyres that loose all semblance of grip if it looks like there is some mud within 30 yards..
feels quick on tarmac though, well compared to the bouncy things im used to but its hellishly slow if there is any dust gravel water etc in the way and god alone knows why i went for brakes that work about as well as those rod things butchers bikes used to have

anyone know any good alloy welders who can stick me some lugs for hopes on the giant?

Any excuse although it is a bit different now with black tape,steerer cut and sporting Conti gp4000s tyres.

It looks perfectly suited to a chav. With all that over the top red it screams look at me, I'm a chav. Understated is what it's about.
