Giant Defy's

[mick160]

Hi all,
I was going to buy a 2014 Giant Defy 1 from my lbs but they have all sold out now. They have Defy 0's and 4's left in my size (was wanting a higher spec than the 4), or there is the 2015 models.
So what would you choose between a 2014 Defy 0 and a 2015 Defy 1? (The 0 comes out slightly cheaper though both a bit more than my original budget).
Cheers.

If the Defy 0 has Ultegra over 105, that's what I'd be going for.

Rutland cycles for £699 on the defy 1

I ordered a Defy 1 from Rutland, they sent the wrong size first then messed me about with delivery of the replacement. I waited in for three whole mornings this week and in the end told them to cancel the order and give me a refund. Not impressed with their customer service at all. Ordered the bike almost three weeks ago and nothing but trouble. I am now going to wait and get a 2015 Defy 1 or 0 from a local bike shop.

2014 Defy 0, but I really woun;dn't shed a tear if I ended up with a 2015 1. They're both genuinely superb bikes.

Defy 0 for me.

I have the 2014 defy 0 and would definitely recommend it

Defy 0's key upgrade from the 1 is the Ultegra 11 speed.

The new 105 11 speed is pretty darn impressive too mind you.

I think the 2014 Defy 0 is the way I want to go, looks like the credit card is going to take a battering .

 

[mick160]

Well, i have only gone and done it. I have just phoned my lbs and asked them to stick a reserved sticker on their last 2014 Defy 0. Can pick it up anytime (now hoping I get finished work in time....)

Any tips on breaking the news to the wife?

Tell her you got a 1 then when the 0 arrives, claim they gave you that one by accident.

 

[mick160]

Lol, don't think that will help.
I told her I would spend 400 to 500 tops...

Tell her you meant 400-500 £2 coins

 

[bpsmith]

Surely she knows that you will end up spending twice that? My missus is never shocked! Lol.
