2020 Giant Contend AR 3 M/L – Shimano Sora – Road/Gravel Bike

2020 Giant Contend AR 3 – M/L frame Brilliant all-road bike that’s equally at home on the road or tackling light gravel. I’ve had some great rides on this bike and even completed Ironman 70.3 Swansea on it, so I’ll genuinely be a little sorry to see it go! It’s comfortable over longer distances, versatile and has been completely dependable for me. I’m only selling because it’s no longer getting the use it deserves. Specification: * Giant ALUXX aluminium frame * Composite/carbon fork * M/L frame size * Shimano Sora 2x9 drivetrain * Shimano Sora STI shifters * Shimano Sora front & rear derailleurs * Shimano Sora 50/34 crankset * 11–34 cassette * Tektro mechanical disc brakes * 160mm disc rotors * 700c wheels * Continental tyres * Syncros Approach saddle * 2 bottle cages Accessories included: * Lezyne top-tube bag * Saddle bag * Front & rear lights * Phone mount The Contend AR is Giant’s all-road bike, so it’s quick enough for proper road riding and long-distance events but more versatile than a traditional road bike, with clearance for wider tyres for rough roads and light gravel. It’s a used bike, so there are cosmetic marks and scratches from normal riding. I’ve deliberately included plenty of close-up photos so you can see its condition properly. Everything works as it should and it’s ready to ride. A really capable bike that’s taken me all the way through an Ironman 70.3 and still has plenty more miles in it. £575 – sensible offers considered.
