the BD bike seems really to be the defy 1. or the BD equal to the giants 3 would be the the liberty1.

the question i have is, i would really like to give my LBS my money, but if what i have read here and been told by others, 105 is waaaay better than sora/2300. Is it just better to go the safe LBS route with lesser parts and the triple ring?
Neither.

Step up and get a Trek 2.3, with full 105, a bomb-proof frame, and decent post, stem, wheel combo.

You'll be happy for years to come.
