2015 Giant Defy Aluxx my mom bought me for my 16th birthday.
Now almost 10 years later I’ve moved to an area with loads better bike infrastructure and have fallen back in love with biking. Ride it to work almost everyday rain or shine!
Upgrades since getting back into it:
-700×28 gravel king tires
Huge difference from the 23mm but I reckon I could even fit a bit wider, I’ll try for 30mm when these wear out.
-Topeak midloader frame bag
I love this thing, it’s large enough to fit a change of shirt, a hat, raincoat if needed and sometimes even a little lunch.
-PDW origami rear fender
-Tubolito TPU tubes
Such a weight difference I could feel it when I changed over from regular tubes, they hold air really well and I have nothing but positives to say so far!
-supacaz bartape
Love the oil slick and it’s held up well.
-fizik arione R3 saddle
-niterider sentry aero 260
Very visible from the sides as well as the rear and bright as hell.
