GIANT DEFY 2
Size: S (Small)
Colour: Silver
Model year: 2015
Aluminium frame with carbon forks and D-shaped composite seat post.
Purchased about a year ago, but soon realised the frame was a bit too small for me, so haven’t used all that much. Mainly indoors on the turbo trainer.
The bike comes with all the original parts, apart from the wheels and tyres.
The Shimano RS31 wheelset is an upgrade from the original wheels that would have come on the bike. They are more a bit more aero and roll beautifully! (see spec below).
The tyres are 25mm Bontrager branded tyres which I fitted myself, and still have plenty of life left in them.
The bike is in full working order and has had a new gear cable replaced recently.
It has the usual signs of wear for a bike of this age.
The paint work had a number of scratches and chips when I bought it. I like things looking nice though, so touched them up as best as I could.
As you can see from the photos, the hike cleans up really well and any imperfections don’t really show up unless you get quite close. (Please see photos)
The saddle is the original one that came with the bike, but could do with replacing, in my opinion, as it has some discolouration and small tears at the back and sides.
Please check the photos for the overall condition of the bike. Happy to send specific photos / videos on request too.
Contact me if you’d like to view the bike before placing a bid.
COLLECTION ONLY.
