2014 Giant Defy 2. Composite?
I'm looking to buy this bike but the seller was unsure if it is carbon composite. The link below says composite but I didn't see 'carbon'. Can anyone give me some info on the frame material. I really want a carbon bike.

Should've scrolled a little farther on that site
ADVANCED COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY Giant's High Performance-grade raw carbon fiber is used to produce custom composite material in our own composite factory. Extremely lightweight, stiff and compliant, these handcrafted frames feature the following materials and processes: MATERIALS: High Performance-grade raw carbon material features an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. RESIN: High Performance formula provides excellent void minimization (bubbles) while maintaining outstanding strength. And vibration absorbing particles are added to help disperse road shock. MODIFIED MONOCOQUE CONSTRUCTION: The front triangle (downtube, headtube, toptube, seattube) is assembled and molded as one continuous piece. This front half is then joined to the rear chainstays and seatstays in a secondary process. This process eliminates the outermost woven composite sheet to reduce weight without affecting ride quality, strength or stiffness. |
haha, thanks dude!

How much did you end up buying this bike for? I recently got the 2014 Alluminium one, serving me pretty well. Nice bike.
