Giant Anyroad 2013
Postby silentbutdeadly » Wed May 22, 2013 10:29 am
Taiwan gets three specs (2, 1 and 0) which runs from Sora to 105. Top spec 0 is roughly equivalent to AU$1,250 and this is the spec I suggest we'll see. I'd reckon they'll pop up at various cross events in the months to come

Here's a pic of the basic spec 2 with Sora driveline

... oh wait. Not any more.silentbutdeadly wrote:...but no rack mounts.
I'm looking to upgrade my commuter to a CX style bike. Disc brakes are a must (I'll probably go hydraulic by the time i get around to it), but it's gotta be able to carry some gear and my daughters baby seat. There's some nice looking ones out there and this one looks great. Lack of mounts is a major PITA.

I really do like the curve of the top tube/seat stay on that frame. Probably a very derivative design, but still like it.

Yeah, the lack of rack mounts (and probably mudguard mounts) changes it from an appealing allrounder to a plaything.trailgumby wrote:Pass on the FSA crankset, but otherwise looks good. Pity about the lack of rack mounts.

Yes that is a nice bike. Or the new Surly. I bought my Merida in 2011 because it had rack mounts, and I still haven't fitted a racksinglespeedscott wrote:I would rather have the new Specialized AWOL. Steel frame and fork. Rack and mudguard mounts and disc brakes.

OK thanks. Since I already have a CC with a disc, I probably won't be needing one of those.singlespeedscott wrote:I think he's talking about Surly's new gravel grinder the "Straggler"

I believe it has rack mount points.

You could put Zéfal muddies on it. It's a got a rear eyelet, but you'd need one of those forkhole fastening fellows on the front.MattyK wrote:Yeah, the lack of rack mounts (and probably mudguard mounts) changes it from an appealing allrounder to a plaything.
