Wondering if it's worth the money and if it would be a bike I could continue to ride even if I got more serious over the next year or so.
Thanks
The Defy 1 was mostly what I was referencing. The frame geometry is the same between the 1 and the 5. It's the hardware that is different. The Defy 1 is a gem and I'm guessing it could be had for less than the price you stated if it is last years model, which is just as nice as this years model. And the Defy is a beautiful bike. 2011 is nicer looking than this years bike.
