FS: Giant Rapid with drop bar conversion - excellent condition

mp31

Giant Rapid 2011 model with recent drop bar conversion €350 o.n.o

I used this for about 2 years before doing the N+1 bike thing and this ended up in the attic.

Brand new Shimano Claris 8 speed Group Set including bars, bar tape,shifters, rear mech, cassette, chain, BB & 50x43 compact crankset, brake blocks.

Original Giant brake calipers, saddle, front Sora mech, and wheels with virtually new tyres

I'll also include the original rubber pedals and toe-clips that came with the bike.

Beautiful condition

Size M/L

Ideal winter bike as it will take 25c tyres with mudguards











Based in Maynooth and work in Blanchardstown (Ballycoolin) so happy to meet up nearby at either location.

Price drop Euro 300.

just a question - quite a long top tube relative to seat tube - so I guess it rides more like a large (56cm) Defy, for example?

The setup in the photo - what height person would that suit?

The 'long top tube relative to the seat tube' is down to it being a compact frameset i.e. with a sloping top tube. Giant claim they "pioneered" it back in the 1990s. Who am I to argue

In terms of suitability, I'd say anyone from 5' 9" onwards. I'm at 5'9 and I used it with a shorter stem but it depends on how long/low you want to go.
