Having asked for and got loads of advice on choosing a hybrid "do-it-all" bike- Cyclist33 gave me the lead that the Giant Concept Store in Liverpool are giving 40% discount on the last few of the 2014 models. They had just one Defy 2 carbon AND it was my size.
So.........at that price I revised my thinking and have gone back to the 2 bike idea.
I bought the Defy which last year was £2K.........this year was £1850 and with 40% off I got it for £1150.00 which for carbon frame with full 105 groupset is an excellent buy.
Thanks again for all the help.......all I need now is to decide on the 2nd bike for off road/towpaths/trails etc.
Life is so difficult

Looks like you got a good bargain. Think I'll look to get my new bike next Dec with 40 off

Bargainous (another technical term) & a really good buy that.

Even my mates 'mates rates' at that exact store are not so good (but his is a new '15 model Defy Advanced).

Enjoy your new bike.
