Well, I'll have a week to decide between the two. If I end up not liking the riding position I'll most likely go with a Giant Roam 1 as I've ridden one before and I liked it. I was planning on going out today to pick one up but it decided to rain and as I'd like to test ride I figure waiting til next weekend would be best. That should work well though because the following week is my spring break and I'll have plenty of time to ride.
I guess I really have to think about the Defy vs the Liberty. For $100-200 cheaper and better components the Liberty seems like the better value, but I know that I'd take it to the shop to have them look it over as I have no experience with bikes. I plan to purchase everything else I need from the LBS so hopefully that'd help out on the pricing of trueing and such.
