I like the specific design of the Defy, but am not sure of how comfortable it will be and I have no idea if road biking is for me or not. I know the obvious answer is to road test them both, unfortunately that is not an option because I am ordering directly from Giant at a dealer price. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
