Bought this last fall as a trainer / commuter but decided it still looked too nice for that, so I bought a steel beater bike and now I'm either riding my steel beater or my carbon bike. This bike is extremely comfortable for aluminum thanks to Giant's Defy geometry which is amazing. Also has a carbon fork.

One comment on the bike though - phenomenal fit & geometry. It just won the award for the 2016 best comfort / endurance road bike. This model won an award for best performance road bike under $1000. I bought it locally - was $989 + tax (around $1050).

Total milage - 1 chain & cassette, 1 pr road tires - about 2500kms.
Cassette, chain, tires, bar tape all brand new.
Pro-tuned - I have a pro mechanic for a basement suite tenant
Bar tape - mec gel/cork thick overlap in all the right places
Chain - KMC
Cassette - shimano 9 speed 11-28. Bike originally had a very slack 32 rear, I'm pretty sure my new one is only 11-28 - better unless you're obscenely out of shape or towing two kids up hill.
New road tires - mavic - can't remember model but super-light race tires

All specs are here - this is the bike but there are 2 paint schemes from that year.

Weight The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All Giant bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
