Oh, I know about the drops. When I was in college, I rode a road bike, 10 speed steel bike--rarely used the drops. The Allez had an aggressive position even on the flats and horns.
Thanks for the input everyone. I've just been waffling between the Defy 1 and Defy 2--who am I kidding, 90% it'll be the Defy 1; it has the better components.
@badger,
I hear you. BTW, right now I ride a Diamondback Edgewood LX, a hybrid/comfort. I may take another test ride of the Rapid and the Defy just to have more recent comparison.
