Advise please?

Looking to buy new bike for sunday morning cycles and maybe a couple of Sportives,I have narrowed it down to the Giant or the Secteur Sport or maybe the Scott S40 Compact. I am late 40s reasonably fit.
Any advise would be appreciated.

  • Got a Defy 2 and I like it. I doubt you will find anybody who has ridden all 3 though. I would have said that if they fit they will all be absolutley fine. The Tiagra gears on mine shift perfectly well, the brakes are OK but as good as they need to be. One thing though - if they still come with Kenda tyres ebay them immediatley and invest in better tyres!

    A vote for the Secteur. Love mine and it was bought with the same kind of rides as yourself in mind. Try at least two of your choices if you can though.
