Hi all,

Just looking for a bit of advice. I had a Trek 1.5 (2010 model) stolen (a bike I was really happy with), and am thinking about replacing it. What can people say about the following bikes?

Giant Defy 2 2012 - http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/product ... -defy-2-12

Focus Variado 3.0 '12 - http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/product ... ado-3-0-12

Specialized Allez Elite '12 - http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/product ... road-bikes

Cannondale CAAD8 Tiagra '11 - http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/product ... -tiagra-11

Trek 1.5 T H2 2012 - http://www.evanscycles.com/products/tre ... e-ec030300

Any advice would be appreciated...

Thanks

2016 - Cervelo R3
2013 - R872
2010 - Spesh Tarmac

    Xenophobia, or perhaps some kind of strange snobbery. Those US brands in your list make great bikes.

    Go and try them out EBS will let you do test runs if it's dry. They had the defy, caad8 and allez to try when I was there. I got the allez cos I liked it. If you try them and like the memory of your Trek better then you'll know what to do. :D

    If you had a Trek 1.5 that you were really happy with, then that is what to replace it with.
