Giant has finally jumped on the aero road bandwagon with its new Propel Advanced. Solid details on the new frame are scarce, but we do know it was approved by the UCI in June (along with a second version) and is set for a larger release in early 2013. The bike present at Eurobike is one of Theo Bos' rigs, and already shows some wear and tear. Notable and visible features include the use of TRP's TTV series linear-pull brakes, front and rear, as well as aero tube shapes throughout. Cable routing is internal and enters behind the stem. Apologies for Giant's decision to leave the Propel in its glass box of emotion, and the resultant less-than-ideal photos. Photo: Caley Fretz | VeloNews.com
