Which road bike

[Grant Fondo]

Not decided yet haha, im very indecisive. Away this week, but the week after I have arranged to have a go on the specialized allez, merida ride 400 and the defy and contend, apparently the giant shop has lots I can just ride. Hopefully then I can get one sorted.

Thanks again for all the suggestions and advice everyone has given.

Yes imagine riding around town in russett shorts and a peach top....ultra retro!

If cost isn't a issue with that ones you like on test ride then go with whatever feels more comfortable.

Let us know how you get on.

I know how you feel about being indecisive I really struggled settling on my road bike until I tried a few and knew the brand etc I wanted.

My defy 3 was 500 in the sale
It's now my winter bike.
It's very good I think I'll have it for years

Nearly got a Defy in the sales but the seat post - stroke - seat post thingy spooked me out so didnt

The Defy is outrageous value for money right now, try one and you'll buy one, I guarantee it. Very, very nearly as good as a carbon TCR.

Ive have chosen....

Gone with the allez sport, sora model. Closely followed by the giant contend, but the allez just felt better. And the man in the specialized shop was more helpful, always handy.

Pick it up this week all being well.

Thanks again for all the help and suggestions.
