proberbly about 8.5kg. Don't let the carbon fool you in thinking it's light.

You think so mampara? They don't have the weight on their website.

Thanks Yang much appreciated!

Pleasure. It was on the US Giant site, not on the Aussie site. Been looking it up for ideas to overhaul my Giant TCR Alu frame. Looks like the trend is towards minimalism- few lines, bold colours and logos. The Defy Giants look nice tho'.

depends on which size they reviewed.

Yang I also like the minimalist look of it. The Defy also looks lekker. 8.1kgs seems to be the weight of all carbon bikes with 105- Raleigh, Scott and GT are all 8.2. I'm just trying to decide which one is 'better'.

[Yang]

The ridr looked cramped up- probably small. I think you're more or less spot on with your guesstimate of 8.5 for a medium with polar and cages.

Damn I think you guys are right! I was hoping it would be lighter!
