UNBOXING! Giant Revolt Advanced 2 | 2024 | My NEW Bikepacking Bike | Review

Welcome To Tour De Bull…

A series where I plan on cycling to Italy with 0 experience, leaving on the day that I overdosed two years ago.

4 Days until I leave.

If you would like to support the journey you can buy me a coffee

A small change fund for coffees, cakes for me to refuel and hostels for when the weather is not on my side.

Top bike, I took a look at it myself and the spec and reviews are great. Hope it serves you well on your upcoming trip.

Excellent choice. I upgraded to a giant tcr advanced 2 and very happy with it. Had it 5 years and no problems

Looks ace! Enjoy the new rig and best of luck with the trip!

Just picked up a 2024 myself. It could use a few more mounting points ( i.e. Only 2 on forks rather than 3). Otherwise great bike. Tested on our local bike adventure park and that was a hoot.

Have the 2022 model. It is a great do it all bike. Mine has seen some upgrades in the mean time, GRX crank with shorter crank arms and a narrower Pro PLT carbon handlebar (as recommended by a bike fitter), and a set of Roval Terra C wheels (got a great deal). It was nice in stock, but now it seems perfect and I want to ride it all the time. Worth a look if one is looking into a bike in that range. The warranty on the frame is also excellent.

I just love NBD no matter what people get! There are so many different options what else did you consider?

Giants are great bikes have had a lot of TCR’s. On the road I never go above 28 mm, off road on my cyclocross bike I use Schwalbe CX comp 35 mm which are more like 30/32 mm with no problems 👍

Just curious how tall are you and what size bike is that ? I am 6 feet and 32.5 inch inseam

[Kuehlschraenk]

what do you mean with "reach it better" ?

Your hoods are set up pointing outward. At least the left one. Horrible to look at. And the stem seems not to be properly lined up to the front wheel.
