For sale 2010 Giant Defy 2.

    I am selling my Defy 2.

    Its a medium/large size, full tiagra, carbon fork and seatpost, ultegra pedals and 2x Tacx aluminium bottle cages.

    It has Mavic Aksium wheels (about a year old) Continental GP4000s tyres, plenty of life left in them.

    It was serviced a few months back by Noel Holmes in Ballincollig where I bought it.

    Not sure what kind of mileage I have put up on it really, I use it for commuting to work (32k round trip) and try get out for some longer spins at the weekends.

    Very well kept bike, cleaned/oiled every week when used and always stored indoors.

    I bought it in June 2010 and it hasn't missed a beat bar the wheels giving a little trouble and they have been upgraded to Aksiums. I haven't used it much in the last year due to being back at sea.

    Only selling because I just bought a new bike and can't justify owning 2 bikes, I don't have the space either unfortunately!

    Heres a photo of it just after I bought it, I'll try and get some more recent pics if needed.

    Bike is in Cork may travel within reason, looking for 700ono comes with saddlebag, original pedals, spare tubes, tyre levers and minipump.

    Cheers Murph

    Depends on your inseam.

    Height is a bad indicator.

    You can be 6 ft and have a 28" inseam or be 6 ft and have a 36" inseam...

    Can I ask what " trouble you got from orig wheels" and do you still have them? Thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 926 ✭✭✭codie


    Looking for a bike for winter training with a budget of €500 if any good to you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭murph226


    Where are you based, might do a deal for the bike without the accessories?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,713 ✭✭✭TheDocMan


    Murph interested in making an offer. Can you put up current pics of the bike please and an update on condition. Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭murph226


    The original wheels were Maivc CXP22's, they gave trouble with the spokes which were replaced under warranty.

    I just had no faith in them after that, I came across a set of new Aksiums for handy money and replaced them.

    I'm not home until the weekend, I'll throw some pics up then, not much changed since the pic above only for new wheels and tryes and second bottle cage.

    Cheers Murph


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭murph226


    Pics tomorrow, apologies for the delay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭murph226


    Having trouble with my photobucket account, can email pics to anyone who is still interested.

    I have a new bike bought without wheels so I can do a deal on this with or without the wheels.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭murph226


    Heres some pics!

    Interested in the bike but i'm out of the country for another two weeks. I'm near enough to ballincollig so they'll be no hassle arranging a viewing or anything.

    If the bike is still available when I get back I'll drop an offer on here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭murph226


    No problem, I'm away myself until the 28th anyway, let me know when you are back and we can sort out a viewing.

    I'm in Crosshaven but can meet near the city.

    Cheers Murph.

    Shimano pedals?
    How much for bike with wheels and pedals?

    I'm living very close by and can view any time. I'm 5'11" so presume bike should be a reasonable fit with my own adjustments?

    Cheers Murph

    I just picked up a new bike today without wheels, pedals or bottle cages so it would suit me to sell it like that.
