Giant Defy 2 vs Trek 1.5 - new bike, which is better?
Hi All - I'm a semi-experienced road rider. I'm looking to trade up from an old Trek, but can't decide if Giant Defy 2 or Trek 1.5 is better. They're priced the same (in UK). Shimano Tiagra on both. Giant has its own design wheels and front brake. Does it really matter? I'm lookinfg for a fast-ish bike for 3-5 hour rides.
Many thanks
Many thanks

Did you ride them to check the fit and see if one feels better than the other?

Both are really nice in this price range. Depends on fit. Trek has a little longer top tube relative to standover, although trek is far from extreme in this regard.
