Had originally put back a Giant defy 1 at the bike shop to pick up next week. By chance i ended up at a large bike dealers and ended up trying a Giant Tcr composite 1, fell in love !! ultegra groupset only draw back is the price tag £1900 ! so considering a 2014 TCR 3 tiagra or 2014 Defy composite 3 also Tiagra. Both £1099 so affordable
So which one ? please help going tomorrow to sort it out

    Have you test ridden both bikes or just sat on them in the bike shop to try for size? I take it you understand the differences in the two frame geometries, TCR performance race, Defy performance endurance. The general consensus is to go with the one that fits you the best and that you prefer the look of.

    Ridden both, gone for the TCR it feels right and upgrade parts when finances allow.

    Come back and post a review after you have ridden it for a few miles. It's always interesting to hear how peoples choices match up to their expectations and useful for other potential purchasers.
