Choice of two winter bikes....

I have about £850 to spend and have got down to two bikes..

The 2016 Giant Defy 2 Disk

And Cannondale synapse ttiegra disk 2016

Both are similar and especially drawn to the fact the Cannondale has built in cables that's neat and better for winter and guards etc. But the giant has full group and are the brakes better than the Cannondale. ????

Both are £850 too...

So which??

If you are getting a winter bike I would definitely buy one that you can fit full mudguards to.

Yeah both fit full guards.

I'm not up with disk breaks and obviously both bikes are very similar so its knowing what's the best buy.

You mean 'disc brakes'
I think you need to go with the bike that feels best if you can test ride it. Looks wise I like the Giant best.
