The decathlon with change for some good wheels (fulcrum 7's or RS30's) and a pair of conti GP4000s tyres. If you ride it regular you might actually look good in Lycra after a while.

I have had two defys, fantastic bikes and comfy for someone with a knackered back like me!

...you'll soon get hooked once you've tried it...

I got myself a Defy last year after seeing a lot about and reading a lot of reviews, several hundred miles later I'm still loving it. Get yourself a test ride and see what you like but you won't go rough with a Giant at that kind of price point

I have a triban 3 with Aksium wheels, I love it. Astonishing bike for the price.

Defy all the way.
Not bike of the year for nothing.
