Why are you swapping? S is too big for you? This chameleon/flip/flop color is interesting, that thing was popular in car tuning some time ago... But I have to say that I like the red one maybe even more
I just prefer the more aggressive geometry of the smaller frame. And yes, the color too. The bike is complete. Final weight with pedals and bottle cages is 14.03 lbs as pictured.
but you don't even have the stem slammed on either... what is more aggressive about an xs then? slightly longer stem?
Usually downsizing brings a higher saddle-to-bar drop, ie. a more aggressive position.

yea i'm just pointing out that it is weird that he hadn't made the old frame as aggressive as he could

Great looking paint and build. Giant usually screw their bikes with awful paint but this one is stunning.
How are the wheels? Have you thought about putting there some tubulars and save 300-400g?

Yes, they are the Cosmic SL UST's set up as tubeless. Wonderful wheels! Super stiff yet comfortable.

Very nice work. El rosado ... I bought the same brakes as well. Still hunting around for a frame I like.
Yeah the El Rosado's go well with Chameleon colored bikes. You have the regular or direct mount?

I bought direct mount. I agree ... chameleon paint looks very nice.
Noctiluxx any chance of more pics of that paint scheme? please
