2013 Giant Defy Advanced SL road bike in XXL size (60cm frame). This bike has been extremely well carted for and presents like a bike much younger than its age.
This was the top of the line Defy when new: the frames were made of Giant's highest grade of carbon, with a special layup that improved responsiveness, weight and comfort over lesser models. This bike was specified with the best of everything when new. Weight as-is (with pedals) is 7.6kg!! And it's a huge frame!

- Shifters, derailleurs, crankset, brake calipers: all Shimano Dura Ace 7900 (2x10 speed, aero cables).
- Crankset: 50-34 teeth, 177.5mm crank arms
- Cassette: 12-30 teeth, Ultegra
- Wheels: Front: Mavic Ksyrium Elite; Rear: Mavic Ksyrium Elite SSC SL (their top of the line alloy wheels at the time)
- Tyres & Tubes: Continental Race tubes (new), Specialized Roubaix 700x25/28mm tyres (as new)
