Who’d of thunk it? People doing their own thing. That is a crazy notion!!! I’m off into the cupboard as it’s scary out there. There’s mad folk getting really annoyed at individuals doing something “they want to do”.
I have an Alu Defy and it is a comfy ride. I’ve never ridden a carbon Defy, but I imagine it will be a great ride too. Groupsets are upgradeable and Tiagra isn’t that bad.
Personally for me, if it was just for commuting and occasional Sportive stuff go alu, if it’s for racing etc go carbon.
I have a z1 compact and I prefer Sony for their interface. If you hurry a mate at work got a good deal involving the new Sony tablet!! I think it was from carphone warehouse.
The Planet X TT bikes are always popular. The main thing with a Tri/TT bike is the fit (I have a few triathlete mates who compete at elite level) as staying in that there aero tuck can get uncomfortable.
But at the other end, I have a mate who started tri last year and does well on a Giant Defy 2 with clip ons 🙂
Wow! Nice response. I am after a commuter/winter bike/off roader. It doesn’t have the top cable routing which is good for the nads lol. I do like how I can change the cassette customise the saddle tape etc. I am kinda sold. Don’t think I’ll go for white though.
