With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Go long. Go fast. Superlight and silky smooth, the Giant Defy Advanced SL Frameset represents the pinnacle of endurance road performance. If you're looking for a defy advanced SL frameset that holds nothing back, this is it.The Giant Defy Frameset is built around Giant's pro-level Advanced SL-grade composite, the same material used across Giant's professional race programme. That means an exceptionally stiff, light platform that transfers power efficiently without sacrificing the long-distance comfort that defines the Defy range. The fork matches the frame, also crafted from Advanced SL-grade composite with a full-composite OverDrive Aero steerer for precise, responsive handling at speed.What separates this defy frameset from the pack is the new SLR D-Fuse seatpost. It introduces up to 7mm of flex to take the sting out of rough road surfaces, keeping your legs fresher over long miles without the need for a suspension system. Paired with 40mm max tyre clearance, this Giant Defy frame is genuinely capable on anything from smooth tarmac to rougher British B-roads.
The finishing touches are well thought through too. A computer mount, fender mount, and water bottle cages are all included, so building this into a complete setup is straightforward.For anyone searching for a serious endurance road bike frameset in the UK, the Defy Advanced SL sits at the top of the category.
