    Hi all,

    Finally decided to move from my hybrid mike to a racer(my first one at that). After a lot of research was thinking of the FELT Z85. Seems to have got positive reviews and seems like a great racer. Whilst in work yesterday a mate of mine has the new Giant Rapid 2 and i was really impressed. Just wondering what your views are.....????

    which would you go for? whilst the rapid 2 is not an out an out racer would be fairly confident of reaching similar speeds with a bit more comfort too.
    what you think all?

    Save yourself 500 quid and get your a$$ over to cyclesuperstore.ie for their Ridley special offer as fast as your browser will carry you!

    You have until midnight tonight, if they haven't all sold out already.

    Get the road bike. You'll only be looking again to get a road bike or thinking of converting the rapid to drop bars.

    Not if you need to get low down against the wind or out sprint someone on your commute.

    The Giant Defy has a similar (but not identical) geometry to the Rapid but with a more natural hand position on the hoods and the option of going to the top bar and drops also.
