    It's a really good bike. It's relaxed geometry so more intended for sportive/leisure cycling rather than racing, which I assume suits your needs.

    11 speed 105 and a good frame. Good value IMO.

    By the way, you should be able to get it below list price if you're not using a voucher intermediary on the bike-to-work (who take a percentage themselves).

    I don't think the 2015 range is in stock anywhere yet. Also if you sign up as a loyalty customer in cycle superstore you save a few quid on it.

    I was looking at the tcr or propel myself.

    I'm not sure which I prefer tbh.

    My sister got one from think bike 2 weeks ago so they're in stock in some places at least. It was just in stock.

    All Giant Defy 2015 range available either currently or within a couple of weeks depending on model and size with the exception of the Defy 0 which is currently expected early new year

    It might be an idea to check around various bike shops to see if anyone has a 2014 at a discounted price.

    2015 Defy is in stock, in some shops, example: LINK

    A lad I know bought one from Giant store, said it was 1099, must have reduced the price, 1249-10% for 2014 in cyclebike last year.

    Local bike shop has one look's very nice. Been doing a lot of research as my wife is using her bike to work and am considering this or the womens version. The other option is the cube peleton they seem to the two best options buying locally all the other brands are a good bit more for shimano 105
    http://www.cube.eu/bikes/road-race/peloton/cube-peloton-sl-blacknwhite-2015/

    At €999 it's 100 cheaper than the giant. Has a full 105 groupset the brakes and cranks on the giant are third party and has a Mavic aksium wheelset which have a very good rep for durability. The giants wheelset are made by dt swiss though and are only marginaly heavier. Where the giant edges it though is the frame is better finished and I suspect is a better frame. I will hopefully get a chance to ride both soon and see which I prefer.

    All of this does not matter to the wife though all that matters is the colour :rolleyes: She has her heart set on Bianchi Via Nirone in celeste which unfortunately those not offer the same value for money.

    Best options are with 8 speed shimano claris for €860

    or with 10 speed Campagnolo xenon for €1150

    11 speed 105 is better but maybe I should be going with campag for an Italian bike.
