Spec from Giant's US site (giant-bicycles.com/en-us, page titled "Defy Advanced 3 (Compact) (2011)", captured 2011-10). Frame: Advanced-Grade Composite. Colors: Composite/White/Red.

Geometry converted to mm from Giant's table (lengths in centimeters); angles as printed. msrp_usd 1930 is the "U.S. Average Retail Price" figure printed in the product's own price block on Giant's US page captured 2011-10, inside the launch window (the page footnote says prices may be lower or higher by region).
