So I am trying to get my first road bike maybe around mid December and have narrowed my choice down to a few bikes. I want to spend up to maybe around $1700 and want 105 componentry. Here are my options
2012 Giant Defy 1 (incl. pedals) - $1499 from Mcbains
2012 Trek 2.1 - $1599 from Ken Self
I also found in Ray Appleby a Scott Speedster S30 for $1599 and an Orbea upstairs for I think $1299. All of these bikes have mainly 105 groupset I believe. as I am completely new to road biking, could someone here who has experience help me make a decision? Thanks
