Hey guys!
Not 100% sure, if this is the correct section to post this... feel free to move/remove.I have a 2019 Giant Defy Advanced disc frameset which I'd like to build.
Sadly the frame is missing all the small parts - all the hole plugs, internal seat clamp, headset/internal routing top cap etc... all of them are specific for the frame and I can't seem to find them anywhere.
Do you know a shop or somewhere I can find Giant bikes spare parts? Some Giant retailer?
Hopefully a 2019 frameset is "modern" enough, so someone should have these in stock.Thanks in advance!

I have a 3t exploro LTD frameset, but it's a Medium. @plxarc

I put on some Specialized roubaix 2bliss 32c on my Exploro and basically fell in love with the fatter tyres. So my only "problem" is weight. I really do want to get the bike as low as possible, since I'm using it as a road bike as well.
Came across the Rene Herse/Compass tyres. Their 32c Extralight tyre has a claimed weight of 254 g., which sounds incredible really.Has anyone tried Rene Herse? Does Extralight thing mean that the tyre will puncture a lot and will wear out really really fast ?

Thanks for the info! There was actually a live Q&A with Gerard Vroomen (the designer of the Exploro) and I asked what is the best tyre size for road use with the Exploro. He basically said that, if I'm not riding on silky smooth roads - 32 is the best option. I find the 32 a bit too big for my taste... so I think a 30c tyre will be the best option.
Can you guys recommend a specific tyre, offered in 30c ?
I'm currently looking at the Vittoria Corsa Graphene 2.0.Also... is going tubeless worth it - have not tried it yet.

@miro_o probably... but I've been using 25 till now, so jumping to 30 will be noticeable for sure.

Hey guys, I got a hold of a 3T Exploro LTD frameset, which I'm plannin on to be my DO IT ALL bike. I've already sold my road and cx bikes... so this has to work everywhere.
Thing is... I can't really decide on the groupset. It has to work both - on and off road.
Weight is important for me, since it has to act as a road bike - I'm totally used to my 7kg. road bike (I know I won't get near that with the Exploro, but it has to be as close as possible).
Obviously the gear range is a big factor as well...Basically I'm torn between the GRX di2 and Sram red AXS.
The GRX di2 seems to shift much better than the AXS (described as "clunky"). There's a better off-road range (32x34), than the AXS (33x33). It's also lighter than the AXS... not to mention I'd like to get the Easton EC90 cranks with Gravel Rings, so it should get even lighter. OBVIOUSLY much cheaper as well...
Thing is... I'm tempted by the 12 speed, wireless idea of the Sram......... is it worth the extra cost ?
Was thinking about the Force AXS as well, but it's so much more heavier - so it's a NO NO for me.Last question... is there any possibility the GRX won't work fine with the Easton crank ?
Thanks in advance to everyone helping out.

For sale is this lovely Ridley X-Night cantilever frameset.
Frameset was ridden for 2 seasons, then it was repainted and never built after ! The condition is as new really...
Professionally painted using Didspade's ColorShift pearls.
Pro Stealth Evo matching carbon handlebars - 110/44. I wanted to keep something from the original paint, so there's the white bit with the logos. Obviously that's covered by the bar tape.
Size is 52, but fits like 54 really... (53.5 cm top tube) - check pictures for geometry.Pics: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uKNtZtT3wKqy0T6ye0_9WmZzedxc5jKO?usp=sharing
Sorry for the messy background...Frameset is located in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Asking 599 pounds, which is almost what I payed for the paintjob alone. Postage is included in the price. -
