    Very niiice. Have you ridden it yet? If so how was it? I'm sorry to hear you had your previous bike stolen. You must have felt gutted, I know I would be. Any upgrades planned for the Giant??

    looks good to me, just because it cost less or looks less fancy doesn't mean you can't be faster :-p

    to be fair its runs pretty much the same ride as the synapse ...only difference been the synapse has the 105 and id say the wheels were problay a touch better on the synapse to ..... but for nearly 300 quid price difference id say the defy 2 is proper good value
