Re: Giant rapid 3
i have the defy3 which is the rapid with drops to have mudguards you will have to buy the giant defy/rapid specific ones there is no clearance under the caliper for sks type guards with 700x25 tyres the very max you can fit with guards www.tredz.co.uk/.Giant-Defy-Road-Bike-M ... _34189.htm there is no plastic passing through the brakes just 2 stainless steel rods i use the bike for commuting and audax . I find it very comfortable and responsive it does tend to lift the front wheel on a steep climb it also has short chainstays which may cause a problem with panniers ?
