Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Still looking for a deal.....Giant or Cannondale

Which one is the better deal? 2009 Giant Defy 3 for $500.00 or 2010 Cannondale CAAD 8 for $600.00

Bear in mind neither has great components, both are base model. I'll most likely upgrade shifters & deraileurs this fall. The Cannondale doesn't come with the stem rack or the bags.

Doesn't matter, just buy one and ride the crap out of it. How much you ride is way more important than what you ride, an extra $100 is peanuts.
