I've phoned GIANT and pre-warned them that sales will go through the roof after your review...

 

[Cuchilo]

Is it a stealth bike?

 

[Cuchilo]

No I was just waffling a load of drunken rubbish about my new bike
Pictures and a better ride today will reveal more drunken rubbish about my new bike

 

[Cuchilo]

Its really really fast

Just got back from another couple of laps around Richmond park . It really is a lovely bike to ride . Very comfortable and the carbon takes most of the shock out of the road making it a really smooth ride . The power transfer when you give it a push is something else . I guess that's because its a light bike but its very easy to get your speed up with very little effort .
The Ultegra shifters will take a bit of getting used to especially with two pairs of gloves on
Im looking forward to the shops opening so I can get the integrated ride sense working and of course the most important thing is to change the bottle cages over Ive seen some specialized white ones with a red S on them that will go rather well with the bike

You can't put specialized cages on a giant! Elite do red on white http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Elite-Custom-Race-Bottle-Cage_53067.htm

Im 40 . I can do what I like

Its an MTB cage aswell

Hold up ! I said im 40 and now I have senior member under my name

Those Spec cages are a bit tight, I find. Go with vickster's recommendation - the Elites are miles better..

Youngster I thought you were much older than that what with the allotment and chickens and all

 

[Cuchilo]

I do have a couple of black and white elites on the Defy 5 that wont look out of place . I may have to have a swap around for now .
De-stickering is the next job as they just look messy !

As for the allotment comment , how very dare you Madam
