Reflector or light (hard to tell), Saddle bag, and tire labels not aligned to valve stems will ruffle the feathers of many, but I think its hot. Is it the Steel or Ti option?

The crank arm may be aligned with either the chain stay or seat tube (preferred) but only if if adheres to the 12/2/6/9 prohibition above.




Valve stems should be at the 1 or 2 o'clock position. It is appropriate to hide the rear valve stem behind the seat stay.

But you can (and should) remove for the photo.


In any event...That black on the fork alone kills it for me, not to mention on the rest of the frame. And is that fork a different tone than the rest of the bike, or is it the lighting? It looks appreciably lighter in tone than the rest of the frame.

The colors are the same and do look noticeably lighter in the pictures.

Were the frame and fork purchased together? Or was that fork painted "to match" at a later time?

They were purchased and painted together. At the same time. By hand. In Santa Barbara, CA.

Photos can do weird things to colors.

Yeah. And the blades of the fork aren’t totally flat. They have a bit of an angle to them that reflected light in an odd way.

Just finished the build of my Giant TCR Disc. Most of my riding is hilly (N. California), so I wanted something light with disc brakes. This comes in at exactly 15 lbs according to my wildly inaccurate fishing scale. It rides amazing, but not sure I'm totally sold on the look of disc brakes.
