Isn't that usually within a certain price bracket?
I remember reading the article,but not a stipulated price point. They judged it best with a nod to value for money amongst ride,equipment etc for amateur road/crit/sportive rider

I said I didn't like the looks! I presume you would be able to reach the bars thoughThey weigh a ton
A friend of mine is interested in the Giant Defy Composite 1 2014. Whilst the spec. looks good (except for the wheels, I have heard they are rubbish), why does it look so boring? Other brands at this price point would offer integral cable routing and just more stunning looks. I don't know if Giant are making it look conservative to suit its riding geometry?
I must say though, I do like the look of the TCR composite 1 2014, but it still has external cables, which to me ruin the appearance.
I would be interested to hear others views, as maybe I am being a bit picky.
Thanks people, I have an upcoming decision on my next cyclescheme and the defy 1 was top of my list and reading that the wheels are cheese is not great. Although i have been browsing Planet X website at their sub £1000 carbon bike
I went into a Giant store in France at the weekend, just browsing you understand. I really do think the Defy Composite 1 looks pretty dull, but the TCR Composite 1 looks super sexy. Same price, different geometry I know, but how different are they in reality to ride.
No idea as im still paying for it ! There is riding and riding . A spin down the road is pointless , I wanna do 30 miles on it and puke at the end to know and they don't let you do that until they have your cash . Give me a few weeks and I will let you know .I went into a Giant store in France at the weekend, just browsing you understand.

Don't beleive all that you read, my wheels (defy 1)are true and still doing a great job with 2500 miles on the clock. I started out as a heffer at 16 stone, and even now at 13.5st the wheels are stellar. I will change them at 3000 to some Mavic's or Fulcrum's, but the stock wheels are not made of cheeseThanks people, I have an upcoming decision on my next cyclescheme and the defy 1 was top of my list and reading that the wheels are cheese is not great.
