Been a member here for a while, but never really posted in this section of the forum due to my laziness. Anyway, here's my newly built 2015 Giant Propel Advanced SL with Shimano Ultegra 6870 Di2. Weight is 15.75 lb or 7144 grams. Really wanted it to go below 15lb/6.8kg, but couldn't justify spending more to do it when this will not be my primary bike and won't be ridden as much. Guess my consolation is my main bike, the TCR Advanced SL is below that weight, :lol:.

So, here are some pictures for everyone to enjoy.

Looking great! The Berk saddle tops it really nicely. Does it stay comfortable on long rides?

Haven't rode it yet, haha. Bike is still brand spanking new. :D But, tested it by putting my behind on it and just balancing on the bike, it's fairly comfortable.

That's a great looking bike. Very understated with the white, and looks fast on those wheels. What size is your frame and what is your bb -> saddle height?

Beautiful bike sir!! Been looking all over for a much lower weight seatmast topper but haven't found anything but if you do please give me a shout!!! I love my Propel sl but to tell the truth need a more flexible saddle because yowsa this thing is solid !!

Enjoy.

Thank you everyone for your compliments.

Yep, unfortunately my stem is too short for me to mount it on the bottom. Trying to figure out how to clean that messy part up... Was going to get a Tillquist mount, but to bad Morten doesn't seem them anymore :( . Anyone has suggestion for this?

Agree a real shame Morten is not making any mounts. I have one and love it.

Bar fly makes a nice Di2 junction box and Garmin holder that integrates with Fizik and 3T stems
