Managed to get focus at £649 and Defy 2 at £600

Head (mainly because so many people rave about the Defy range & it's 50 notes less) says go for Giant - heart fell in love with the Focus' looks & fact i see at lot less of them around

Any thoughts ? Is the Focus in same class as the giant?

Get the focus if that's what the heart says, no £650 roadbike will be poor, that said the giant was £800 I think rrp

Post the spec of the focus to help people comment ;)

A quick Google shows them both being a full Tiagra groupset. So, on paper they look similarly specced.

Now boils down to what @vickster said, pick the one that grabs your attention. I have the Defy 1, and its a great bike, but Focus are also very good too. No question about it. I think you have already made your decision by the sounds of it. ;)

I spent ages deciding between various bike brands inc focus and giant....ended up going focus....I do like them....not many around my way...so its nice to be on something a bit different from the usual plethora of spesh tarmacs

Know exactly what you mean - I've loved the look of the spesh family for years (often had to be pulled away drooling from their shop in Harrogate) but 20 or 30 must go past my house every weekend without fail. Can't wait to try the bike out in anger now

I think that you chose the best one for your requirements. I found the sane with my Giant. It really is a great bike, but loads around and find it a bit boring at times. My Bianchi, that I just got, gives me very different feeling when I look at it. Lol.

I have a Focus izalco and I've never had any regrets - chose it for exactly the same reasons as I had a Spesh Allez and when it came time to upgrade I didn't want to be riding the same bike as everyone else so it came down to either canyon or focus. Focus won!
