Felt Z95 or Giant Defy 1

PCwiggum · 2012-07-03 13:11:58

Hi, I'm looking to get an entry level road bike in the coming week or 2 on the bike to work scheme. I've had a look at 3 so far - Felt F95 (€800), Felt Z95(€800) and Giant Defy 1 last years model (€1000). I'm tending towards the Felt Z95 at the moment. I'm a total noob so I might be completely off track here... any…

I have a Felt Z100 and think it's a great bike, does exactly what it should, no more, no less.

The Felt F series have a more aggressive geometry more suited to racing than comfort. I can't comment on the Giant as I know nothing about it.

I commute on a z85, 25k every day and find it a very comfortable bike.

Thanks folks,

I think I'll give the 2 Felts a trial run to see which I prefer.
