Okay just when I thought I had my new road bike choice narrowed down between the Giant Defy 1 and the Trek 2.1 started looking at bikesdirect bikes and came across the Gravity Comp 20. This is a aluminum frame carbon forked 105 equipped bike. Now the color scheme is not all that hot but the frame bears an uncanny resemblance to the Defy. Is this essentially the same bike without the dress up paint job and anodized parts? 500 dollar difference for a paint job and probably a few other better Giant brand parts. Hmmm just when I thought I knew! comments welcome, here are the links for the two bikes. Sure the frames are made at the same place even the sizes are the same. Comments are welcome.
