  1. Hi,

    I am new here and I would like to get an opinion from people who know road bikes better than me. I started road cycling last year with my father’s former bike, a really cheap bike. I have now decided to buy a new one since I have some problems with mine, and I don’t want to put any money on it.

    I have narrowed my search to these two bikes:

    - 2018 Giant Defy Advanced 1

    - 2018 Cervelo R2

    (It doesn’t let me post links)

    The Giant is 2300$ tax included, and the Cervelo is used, and 2000$

    I know these aren’t the same type of bike, but I started looking for an endurance bike because I heard they were really comfortable, and I often have lower back pain. I then started to look for a more « racing » kind, and I thought the Cervelo seemed really good for it’s price.

    What would you recommend me?

  2. While I can't speak to the specfics on either, Giant now started a two-year replcement on damaged frames (to include crashes). https://cyclingtips.com/2019/05/giant-usa-announces-composite-confidence-coverage-program/

    This may help in your decision as crashing (or your bike falling over) is inevitable
