Gravel Bike Giant Contend AR Size M/L 56

Alloy gravel bike, Giant Contend AR 2020. Size M/L 56

Perfect for gravel and road use, simple and reliable, and also not crazy expensive to maintain.

Shimano Sora 9-speed mechanical shifting, disc brakes, 40 mm tyres.

The bike needs attention and should be properly serviced. It works, but the brake calipers are too weak, the shifting is a bit slower than it could be, the bearings in the rear wheel should be cleaned or replaced, and the rear rim should also be replaced soon. The bike has some visual imperfections - it was used properly. 18,000 km done, lots of all-year commuting, a few gravel races, and a couple of bikepacking trips. It never let me down. A real workhorse.

Weight is about 11 kilos. Tyre clearance: 45 mm front, 40 mm rear.

Specialized Power Saddle

Could be a good first gravel bike/commuter or a bike project and become much lighter with some investment.
