Hi,

I'm looking at buying a new road bike and have narrowed it down to a Giant defy 1 or a giant defy composite 3. The defy 1 has some shimano 105 gears and great reviews, the composite one is £250 more but has tiagra and I can't find any reviews.

I mainly do rides for fitness and would like something which will be comfortable over the longer distance rides and currently have a trek 1000. My budget is around £1000-1250

I was wondering if it is worth spending the extra £250 to get the composite frame but lower spec gears?

    I would spend the extra £250, particularly if I was after a comfortable distance bike - just don't change gear so often and pretend you have Dura-ace on it.
