ChrisF, the Giant REVOLT, and Chapmans Peak!


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

A very big thanks to ChrisF, (and Greta), for travelling out to Hout Bay, and enabling me to test-ride his newish M/L Giant Revolt; they settled in for coffee at Dunes restaurant, whilst I rode up Chappies and back (10km, but i got a real feel for the bike…).

I managed to find odd gravel patches on the way down, and the ride was PLUSH!

Super-slick shifting, beautiful off-Gold paint job, VERY comfortable ride, ticks all the boxes, I MAY opt for a Large over the M/L, personal preference, both sizes overlap, and i am ‘in’ the overlap, we shall see!
 

Followed by breakfasT at Dunes restaurant, on the MOST beautiful/tranquil day; the Republic’ REALLY had her best face on today, nary a breath of wind, and i even got a cold-water sea swim in beforehand (10.8 degrees!).

Thanks, Chris & Greta, loved meeting up, loved the bike, and the good chat afterwards!
 

Onwards, & Upwards
