Anyone know about Giant's road bikes? Looking for my first 'proper' road bike and it's probably going to be a defy. I'm torn between:
2012 Defy 0 (Ultegra, mail order)
2013 Defy 1 (105, from a local shop)
Both roughly the same price (just under a grand). I prefer the look of the 2012 one (more understated). Specifically is there any reason to go for the 2013 model? Has the frame changed significantly, is there any difference between the groupsets etc?
Ive got a defy composite 1 with ultegra.. had a cannondale before with tiagra. Huge difference between the 2 groupsets but not sure how much of a difference you'll notice between 105 and ultegra apart from weight. Ultegra is slick though. If you shop about you could pick yourself up a 2012 composite ultegra fir about £1100..:)
ultegra will be slightly lighter think SLX/LX v XT but functionally there won't be much in it, are they both 10sp?

Really? Can you help me with my search?
The composite 1 i saw is no longer in stock.. nice composite 2 with sram apex here..
