My organisation are running a cycle to work scheme (perfect timing as I have been looking at upgrading my hybrid for a road bike) so I have started researching the various bikes on offer. I have visited a number of LBS and some have been very helpful but, not surprisingly, they recommend the bikes they keep in stock. I am keen to keep the price down as I will need some accessories as well (pedals, shoes etc) so I have narrowed the choices down to the following....
Anyways, I would be grateful for any advice or comments on the bikes I am considering...
Thanks in advance.

- Trek 1.1 or 1.2 (LBS strongly recommended the 1.2 if I could stretch to it)
- Specialized Allez (don't seem to hear anything negative about these as a n entry level bike) ? Secteur
- Giant Defy 5 (not sure if I can afford the 4??)
- Boardman Road Race - bit of an outsider perhaps in this company??
Anyways, I would be grateful for any advice or comments on the bikes I am considering...
Thanks in advance.
