I am parting with my full carbon gravel bike Giant Anyroad Comax
The frame is size M. I am 179 cm tall and the way the bike is currently set up, I ride it rather comfortably.
A 100 mm stem is fitted. This could still be turned down or a few spacers can be removed to get a much sportier position.
Other stem lengths are also possible to adjust the position. I could also set a different position here if required.
The carbon seatpost has a slight flex. This makes riding much more comfortable, especially off-road.
The frame has mounting points for a pannier rack. The bike therefore also has bike packing qualities.
The original weak mechanical disc brakes have been replaced by powerful hydraulic brakes from Shimano. The brake pads are new.
The bike is mounted on stylish 38 mm high and 25 mm wide carbon wheels with Novatec hubs. The hubs have a crisp sound and enhance the bike visually and technically. The rims have neither radial nor lateral runout. The rims are tubeless ready. Clinchers with tubes are currently fitted.
Schwalbe G-One Allround Evolution ADDIX Super Ground tires in 35 mm are fitted. Up to 40 mm wide tires can be used.
The wheels are approx. 2.5 years old and in perfect condition.
The gears are a Shinamo 105 / GRX combination. I have swapped the 105 crank for a GRX crank with a gravel-friendly gear ratio. This makes a 30/36 reduction possible as the lowest gear. You can still get up any mountain with it.
The chain and drivetrain were cleaned regularly and replaced when necessary. The drivetrain is in perfect condition. The current chain is waxed.
The bike has slight signs of wear. The frame/fork are in perfect condition. The bike is free of crashes.
The derailleur hanger has just been realigned. The gears work perfectly.
Equipment / data:
Crank: Shimano GRX 42/30, length 172.5 mm
Rear derailleur: Shimano 105 11-speed
Front derailleur: Shimano GRX
Cassette: 36-11
Pedals: Shimano SPD
Weight: 10.1 kg (as pictured)
A few more data on the geometry:
- the current saddle height is set to 74.5 cm (center crank - top of saddle)
- Saddle height measured from the ground: 100.5 cm
- Handlebar height measured from the ground: 100 cm (top edge of upper handlebar)
- Distance saddle - handlebars: 64.5 cm (center of saddle tube - center of handlebar tube)
- Spacer under the stem 2.7 cm
- Center of pedaling position to center of handlebar 44 cm
- Handlebar width 41 cm (measured center / center tube)
The handlebar position can be lowered by approx. 4-5 cm by removing the spacers and turning the stem (sportier riding position).
A different stem could also be used to move the handlebars 3-4 cm closer or 2-3 cm further away from the saddle.
