    I like that, nice upgrades on it. I see you have 105 shifters and tiagra mix. Isn't Tiagra 9 speed and 105 10 speed?

    I have a defy 2 and will be looking to fettle it as bits wear out hence the reason for asking.

    Did you find the wheel change made a difference (that is if you did the upgrades).

    Cheers

    It's a very good question, i believed that aswell. Was searching for 9 speed shifters, and these came up. Was confused sent a e-mail to the supplier, he confirmed they are 9 speed i beleive they are 2008 maybe 2009 model year.

    I did all the upgrades myself. 3 sets of wheels, 3 sets of tyres, 2 stems, 3 saddles. It was all trial and error (Loved learning about the parts though)

    When buying the bike i knew that i was going upgrade, as i enjoy spending as seeing something develop into what i want.

    The wheels made a huge difference , love the fulcrums they have 2-1 spoke lacing on the back wheel for strength. Great nice and strong.

    Any other questions, more than happy to help.

    Cheers Dickie
