Congrats man! :) Not that flash thou? I think it looks hella' nice. A wider selection of color schemes, (something wild like deep green, purple, red, orange, etc.) black Cadex logo on the rims and a full integrated handlebar would be nice; but still, it looks awesome I think.

That’s very likely the first time anyone has said anything nice about the stem on the propel.

Yeah that triggered me too. Chain catcher is here for the big drop between the 54 and the 42. And the stem cover is her to look cool. However, it's actually part of an interesting design as hydro housings are easier to route through the stem to the bike, making giant shop mechanics life's much easier

very nice bike! i own a 2015 rim brake version (curious if there's any substantial difference in ride feel). funny that they've placed old giant stickers on the big tube (now giant letters are sheared a bit more). really nice to see how well the back wheel is balanced - basically no wobble while freehub testing:)

So, I fit on a size S Giant Propel ... Only, it it were rim.brake like a real bicycle should be ... Oh, and still need to raise the seat an extra 10mm and use a 120mm stem

Looks so stealth as always but i swear to God, Propel's stem is the U G L I E S T. Please sum1 @ Giant change that rn

@@durianriders yup, slow AF.. (Even the low end tires roll better) I think the low pressure and trend of wider tires made up for making disc brakes less "lethal" on road bikes. I remember 5 years ago all my friends (former mtb riders) said disc brakes were the best way to kill themselves based on how strong the braking force was (making you flip over on asphalt) and how easy it was to lose traction (on sandy road).

Also, the real anger should be aimed at the tour of Poland organisation for those shit barriers and their downhill sprint they claim as the fastest sprint of the year. Year before our Bjorg Lambrecht died in tour of Poland... worst race on the calendar

05:17 I've been riding a Giant for three years now, and it's a great bike. But the toe overlap is just annoying. I don't care if you're a pro rider or a bum like me, we all have to manoever through parking lots, crowded places or make180° U-turns. And that's where this toe overlap gets really annoying. You have to unclip every single time, or else you risk getting your front foot getting stuck behind the front wheel and crashing like a complete idiot.

Honestly, the Giant Propel will always be a no for me.
