I’m going to get a new bike and tested the Defy pro 1 which was nice, if a little relaxed in geometry (which I know can be adjusted) but I’m tempted with the SL 1 version as it’s on sale. Unfortunately I can’t test that one as it’s got an integrated seat post, so wondering if anyone has any experience or advice on it?
I’m after an endurance bike with comfort and a bit of zip!
Thanks

    Get the pro purely because you can adjust the seat post. Might be laidback ride but it responds well when pushed. Love mine and you can always slam the stem and remove spacers. Used mine for triathlons and 200k audax,s. Once you've cut an integrated post your stuffed if it's wrong or want to sell it later.

    Thanks Oxoman, I do worry a bit about the ISP, but I'm unlikely to resell. I do look at it and think that it is going to snap at any point.

    The components of the SL1 and the upgraded carbon frame do tempt me over the Pro, plus it did feel a fair bit lighter.
