popcorn_skollie Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 For a build that's quite literally been collecting dust in my garage for 3 years. The original artwork was just a bunch of vectors I sampled online. The company I used calculates the cost of decals based on scale, colour and shape of cutouts.The final pdf I sent for print was A3 in size. Black and red only. With the Giant and Psylo logos being cutouts. I was quoted a final price of R360.00. A-type Graphix in Stikland. Both the print quality and decal material is quite good and I can't complain. But for peace of mind I intend applying decals after colour has gone onto the frame and lowers. Then seal it all up with a final clear coat. Worked out quite well the last time I did it. Keen to see the outcome although I suspect further procrastination will ensue. Steven Knoetze (sk27), PhilipV, Mopkop and 6 others 9
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Out with the Madone and in with the new 2021 Giant TCR.....Congratz! Ride review in 500 kms please. ✌????
Eldron Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Congratz! Ride review in 500 kms please. ✌????Will do. So far stiffer rear end than the Madone but softer front (and overall). Mostly thanks to the super wide but quite shallow down tube methinks. I also went tubeless. It arrived with tubeless valves installed and tyres already seated. I added 40ml of liquid and used a floor to pump to inflate. Super easy. Overall I was super impressed by Giant's out the box readiness. Lots of little added extras. Damn fine price tag for an Ultegra Di2, carbon wheeled, Advanced Pro framed bike too. Hairy, Eugene Oppelt, DJR and 2 others 5

Hairy Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 After nearly 10 years of riding this is by far my most exciting purchase.Built by my good friend @MeezoMy first dual sus! Still needs a couple things like proper trail tyres amd a longer travel dropper but hey, its rollingLooks great, congrats. You do need to tell the Meezo chap to pic up his game ... the logo's on the Silverback grips are not parallel with the ground, that is a noob mistake
Eldron Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Cant be easy riding that without pedals. Pedals detract from the Insta! I also ride without bottles or a computer because, you know, weightweenie :-) Steven Knoetze (sk27), MORNE , Hairy and 3 others 6
Meezo Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Looks great, congrats. You do need to tell the Meezo chap to pic up his game ... the logo's on the Silverback grips are not parallel with the ground, that is a noob mistake its the one i thing i didn't fit thank you DJR, Hairy and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 3
Brakepad Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Looks great, congrats. You do need to tell the Meezo chap to pic up his game ... the logo's on the Silverback grips are not parallel with the ground, that is a noob mistake I think Meezo took grip mounting to the next level. At a certain point of doing a back flip the logo is level , look at the photos later DJR, Meezo and Hairy 3
