Interest in custom ISP topper for Giant Propel Advanced sl?
Moderator: robbosmans
Building up my dream bike and looking for a way to lighten the 160 gram ISP topper for my Giant. I've seen some carbon cradles online on fleaBay which got me to thinking about contacting a custom fabricator to do an entire topper. Obviously the cost for custom quality work is prohibitive unless there is a group buy so please PM if you are interested in participating and also let me know what your cost ceiling would be. I hope to obtain such a beauty for less than $200 and have it weigh 1/2 of the OEM part.
Regards to all and glad WW is back and running!!

Get me one for my 2015 Defy SL while you're at it. I hate that stupid one bolt design and the thing weighs a ton.

Definitely interested if you can make this a reality. Might have a few teammates interested.
Any update on this? I'm in the process of procuring a Propel Advanced SL. So that makes me interested in getting two of these.
Would be interesting but most attempts with the Giant toppers I've seen so far delete the setback/non setback option which is a nice feature (and make the weight reduction a bit pointless to me)
Sorry been busy healing from being run over by a car 10 weeks ago and haven't been in much of a rush to build up my new bike lol. I've been impressed with Ric R's obsession with perfection (carbonfibersolutions dot com) and I believe I should be receiving something in the near future. Admittedly, I told Ric about my accident and the fact that I wouldn't be needing anything soon so the build was put on the back burner. Now that there seems to be more than a dozen folks interested I'll let him know.
Regards.

Any chance for a 2015 Defy topper in this group buy? A man can dream.
shoot him an email concept2composite@yahoo.com or reach out via the links on www.carbonfibersolutions.com, www.concept2composite.com or heck give him a call @ 703.589.7182. Ric R has been great to work with, just sent him the original topper and he uses that...
Best regards,

Sweet thanks for the info. I'll set it up in the fall so that I can still ride the bike for the summer. Anyone else with a Defy feel free to contact me and we'll do a group of them.
Bit of an old thread dig up...
Did anything end up coming of this?
Change in saddle type, plus adding some extra seat post height and I'm in a world of trouble with the standard ISP so looking to see if anyone has created a longer version of the Propel ISP topper (to enable more spacers).

Yes I am actually working with a local machinist who is about to get me his efforts... I do know that he has got the topper at least 30 grams lighter. My personal bike will now be under 15 pounds even with the 1700 grams wheels that are on it. I will post here as soon as I have something more definite and I'll be sure to put pictures up.
Thanks.
