A sound purchase for the price. I have the Defy 1 and it is serving me well. Suprised they give Ultegra shifters,but the same Tiagra cassette as i have. Not a big issue as you can replace this once worn.
The wheel/tyre combo is also the same. Again pretty good for the first year or two depending on mileage. My wheels still run true and the hubs are spinning freely.
Same brakes - pull the levers and the bike stops.
My bike cost £999, so a great price at £200 more
