Giant Defy 2 or Specialized Allez 24?

I have spent hours looking at and reading about these bikes, I am going to buy one of these bikes but which should it be? Please tell me.

The Specialized looks like a good buy, it has better components 105 vs Tiagra. Why not go down to your local bike shops and take each of them for a test ride.

Not a bad call. Found a store locally with the specialized, waiting for the defy 2 to come in. If it were down to looks alone it would be the specialized but I'm not an expert and don't know which is better equipped.

Pick the one that fits best, rides best, best fits your financial constraints, and best tickles your aesthetic preferences. That's all that matters.

Pretty sound advice.

Thanks
