giant defy advanced 2 2018 vs Giant TCR Advanced 2 2017
Does anyone have any thoughts on one vs. the other? I am not a racer but like to do somewhat fast rides. I understand that the geometry is somewhat different, with one bike putting you a git more upright, and that one has disc brakes vs. calipers.

You can also get a TCR with discs.... best of both worlds. The Defy is more upright and has a longer wheelbase to smooth the ride out some. I don't think it matters that much; ride them both and pick the one that feels best....

As a Defy owner I can definitely attest to the fact that it is no slouch if you want to mash down on the pedals and put it to the test. It will respond nicely.
