Giant Giant Defy Composite 1 (2013)

You had asked for my feedback on my new rd bike, 2013 Giant Defy composite 1. I now have over 500 miles on it, inc a metric century ride and this is how i feel. The bike seems very well damped. Handling is intuitive, dip a shoulder, the bike goes that way. Quick to respond to more serious efforts. Though not as aero as a racing bike, that can be made up for in the drops. As expected with a full ultegra spec, shifting and braking are quick and reliable. I would recommend this as an entry level road bike to anybody who would love to experience the thrill of road cycling. I am extremely happy with my purchase, and would buy this bike again. By the way.. she looks Awesome too! Ride on Audra Hermes.  Less
