    OK, yet another 'which bike?' thread.

    I'm prioritising comfort over speed. I don't race, just do long leisure cycles and sportives.
    Any price difference is not important.

    So which of these is the best bike? (Really sorry - I can't post links here yet).

    * Giant Defy 0 (alu bike, full ultegra);
    * Giant Defy Composite 2 (composite, 105);
    * Cube Agree GTC Pro (composite, 105).

    Any advice welcome, especially if you have used any of the above bikes.

    The size and geometry on the cubes is peculiar it is neither here or there, the giant defys get very good reviews and probably have a better warranty and backup.

    Don't know if this will change your decision but 2015 defy models just announced. All carbon bikes to have disc brakes...

    i have a defy composite 1 and its a great bike. even though its an endurance / comfort geometry its a quick bike. the 2015 models do look good though if you could hold out a while

    no experience with the cube sorry
