My first carbon, £1500 budget, help

[Kies]

Hi OP here...

I bought a 2014 Giant Defy Composite 1 from the Giant store on London Wall on Monday

Haven't really had a good long ride yet, but the 2 miles or so have been great!

Excellent service from the store too. Got a bike fit and servicing included too so am very pleased. I can't recommend the Giant store enough

I work around the corner,nearly pulled my credit card when i saw the sale price. Great store :-)
