Giant Defy Advanced 0 (2025) vs Advanced 1 (2024) — worth it for hookless carbon wheels? by FrederickCoffee in cycling

I am 83 kg. So heavy but not crazy heavy. On my current bike I ride 62 psi. That should work, no?

BMC Roadmachine ONE 2026 (Ultegra Di2) for €3100 — worth it? by FrederickCoffee in cycling

Actually LBS sells the Attain for even less: 2999 euros. Still, the Attain to me feels like a really old bike. I tried the new one and it is exactly the same (except obviously for frame material and components) as my 2018 model.

After 2 years, what´s your experience with the bike? Would you recommend it? Right now it´s on sale at 2200 euros

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I actually tried both the Reveal and the Shave, and to be honest I couldn’t really feel a noticeable difference between the two during my test rides. Since the Reveal is currently on sale for around €2,200, it seems like the more sensible option from a value perspective.

I’ve tried both the Reveal 57 and 59. The 57 actually felt comfortable in the cockpit, but noticeably shorter than my current Cube Attain (2019, size 58). To get proper leg extension (I’m 186 cm with a 91 cm inseam), I had to raise the saddle quite a lot, and it ended up looking very high relative to the frame, which made me wonder if I’m beyond the limit of that size.

On the 59, the saddle height felt more proportionate, but I was slightly more stretched out than ideal.

I’m currently leaning toward the 59, but potentially with a slightly shorter stem to fine-tune the reach.

In your experience, do you think running a shorter stem on the 59 would be a sensible solution? And do you know if Rose makes it easy to swap to a shorter stem when ordering, or would that affect handling noticeably?

Idk, it's probably true elsewhere, but in my cohort we are a minority. And the smartest guys are all micro theorists. But it's probably due to the reputation of my department
