Thanks Fishymamba. I see your point, this bike is really not worth upgrading. Today I just saw a deal at sports expert for a giant defy 2 selling for as low as 699 instead of 1150! I was really tempted to buy it.

And your right actually, because I do notice some people blowing by other on their old vintage bikes or rather bikes that dont cost 1000+. But for some reason no matter who, whenever I see someone with a quality bike, there always riding pretty fast. Be it a women or a male.
