Anyone got either of these? If you have what's your opinions?

Trek - http://www.trekbikes.com/uk/en/bikes/road/madone/madone52/

or

Giant - http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/defy.advanced.1/3890/37092/

Hmmmmmmmmm I need a nudge on either or......i love the look of the Trek over the Giant, but having bought Giants for many years i can't help but to be favouring the Defy.

Same group, better wheels on the Giant, better finishing kit on the Trek.......it's a hard one.

I reckon its a hard one, if it was my money it would be the Giant though, i have had Giant for years now, my alloy TCR rides awesome.

It is a hard one, and it's annoying the sh*t out of me because I can't make my mind up..............the Giant i know i'd feel comfortable on straight away, but the more i look at the Trek, the more I want it.............

Thats 2-0 to the Defy already, my heads saying go for the Defy too......[b]BUT[/b].......the Trek is teasing me!!!

It's almost like that really fit bird you see in Tesco's while you're with the missus, tight jeans, massive knockers, curves in all the right places, slowly pushing her trolly down the isle in front of you, you almost want to throw her in the basket and take her home with your stuffed olives......but deep down you know it's just wrong, and the missus is the woman you really love and much better than the bird with the fine ass..... ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Missus = Defy
Bird with big knockers = Madone

Siiigh

Looking closer I dont think the finishing kit is better on the Trek at all, just because its got Bontrager on it does not make it better.

The Giant own brand stuff at the higher end is really nice stuff, also the Trek has a 105 cassette the Giant is Ultegra, go for the Giant.

Only bike I've ever taken an instant dislike to is the madone.
