2015 Giant Propel Advanced

Yes, the frames of Adv and Adv Pro are the same, only the headsets and forks are different. A new headset was all I needed to do the swap. I opened a thread about this, will edit this post for the link. I believe the Adv/Pro thing is the same for the TCRs.

Well hot damn, that makes life easy and far more tempting to upgrade!

Cheers

Here’s the thread, read away.

And thanks for the kind words, all. I’m now back in Italy and I’ll miss this spaceship.

In October, I crashed heavily in a race @55 kph. During the crash, the saddle somehow received a hit from above and the seatpost was pushed into the seat tube. Due to this, the seatpost pushed the cutout outward and cracked it. Yay, I have a cracked frame! (I got off lightly really, just a cut on my hand and a sprained shoulder, could have easily bitten the dust)
Had the crack repaired as it is not in a critical area. I've seen no other damage but who knows what happened in the insides, I will source an endoscope to look inside the frame tubes.
Also bought Fouriers brakes as the originals were rusted in their bushings. Big difference, they are much better in modulation.



Also new wheels, will write a build post.
