Giant ALUXX 6000 aluminium compact road bike.

Giant alloy — light, stiff, and built to last. Stamped frame size 46.5 (compact geometry — short seat tube, sloping top tube). Not a modern “Large”; best as a small/medium depending on rider height and set-up. Check fit in person.

What’s on it * Giant ALUXX 6000 aluminium frame * Carbon seatpost * Cane Creek headset, Giant stem * Shimano Sora 27-speed (3×9) — triple crank for hills * Sora front and rear derailleurs, STI drop-bar shifters * Rim caliper brakes * Alex Rims DA22 double-wall 700c (wear indicator on rim) * Maxxis Re-Fuse 700×25c SilkShield — puncture-resistant road/commute tyre * Clip-on aero bars already fitted * Gel saddle * Drop bars, lights on the hoods Why it’s useful ALUXX 6000 was Giant’s workhorse alloy — butted tubes, proper welds, compact geometry that keeps the bike lively without a huge frame. Triple Sora gives a wide gear range for Hawke’s Bay hills. Re-Fuse SilkShield tyres are built for glass and chipseal, not just Sunday racing. Aero bars mean it can do road miles or a first triathlon without extra spend. Condition — honest Used road bike. Drivetrain has road grit and age marks. Sora rear mech shows surface wear. Cables and bar tape are tired. Frame paint is solid blue/silver with normal scuffs. No structural issues spotted in photos; inspect welds and the DA22 wear line before you ride hard. Good first road bike, commuter, or cheap aero-bar trainer. Bring a tape measure — 46.5 compact is the number that matters, not “large.”
