Giant defy 0 reduced to 799 is a fantastic price. Unbelievable spec for that price and great reviews. The 2016 model must be due out but this bike is hard to better for that price. I took one for a test run a few weeks ago and it was outstanding. If only my back could take riding a road bike!!!. Stick to my hybrid. lol

Yes, we should probably make it simpler for you and revoke your access to the internet.

So you are confused that something second hand costs less than something new?
Or is it that things come at different prices? Plenty of bikes out there for less than your car cost, and plenty of cars cost more than this bike.
Hopefully you are trolling otherwise probably time to call for the nurse to take you back to your room!
Purchased a Nissan Micra with 25000 miles, full serving history,absolutely spotless for £750, when a push bike get more expensive than a car, I must admit, life gets really confusing.

Suggest a basic book on economics; it's all about supply and demand plus profit.
Perfumes & aftershaves are a classic case - one of the few products where sales increase if the price increases - people perceive it must be good if it costs allot - but in reality the cost of the product is next to nothing - costs come from marketing, packaging & of course a vast profit...

Bike's value is based on how light they are often.
Try picking your Micra up and taking it up a flight of stairs.
Try filtering between two lanes of traffic.
Doesn't seem confusing at all - bike is WAY better than the car*.

I suggest to print off two pictures - your Nissan, and then a bicycle.
Label the car "CAR", and the bike "BIKE". Stick them on your Fridge.

The deal has been pulled. I added the defy 0 to my basket and tried to buy it and it was 999. Earlier in the day the site was showing the reduction to 799.

Each year Giant bikes will be reduced by exactly 20% everywhere in the end of year sales - no price fixing there... Anyway, it's a good deal for an early price drop with summer still ahead.

Can you point me towards another ultegra/105 equipped bike from a very good brand for under £800?
celticprince
11 Jul 15#26
Cheers OP, heat added. Very nice bike and a decent first reduction; this happens across the board every year and will slowly drop to around 50% unless stocks are depleted first.
redbutcher
11 Jul 15#31
105 and Ultegra mainly - good spec at this price point.

11 Jul 15#32
THIS DEAL IS NOT THAT GOOD
ALUMINIUM FRAME,
105 AND ULTEGRA
SET OF HEAVY WHEELS
800???
..... NOTHING THAT SPECIAL IMO

Link to a better deal please :smiley:

Nothing wrong with a decent aluminium frame (which this is) and what the heck is wrong with 105 and Ultegra??? Wheels can be upgraded at a later date if need be. VERY DECENT ROAD BIKE IMO :stuck_out_tongue:.
If it's your first bike I would go with the Triban 500se for £299. Depends on your budget and what you want to use it for.

for this price would expect full carbon
jimx26 to kramer2088
11 Jul 15#54
Cool story
I highly doubt you would find anything with a carbon frame and the same groupset for under £1200

11 Jul 15#55
Carbon vs Aluminum is a lot more than material but quality, geometry, feel, ride quality, a ton of things. Carbon doesn't instantly make a bike greater.
Giant make some of the most well regarded aluminum frames.
jimx26
11 Jul 15#56
I wasn't suggesting it does. I was replying to the op who expected a carbon frame at this price point
jimx26
11 Jul 15#57
You could get a carbon bike with lesser a groupset from a less well regarded manufacturer though.
matthew1888 to jimx26
11 Jul 15#59
Just to complicate things. Some carbon frames better than others. The Boardman carbon ain't much different to the defy frame

Giants aluminium frames are supposed to be quite spectacular (almost as good as carbon) as I've read from many reviews over their time.

Maybe consider a Gran Fondo style bike, a slightly more relaxed less aggressive riding position. I have a Canyon Endurace, however there are many other brands offering this style of bike.
cycleman
12 Jul 15#66
The Defy is a great bike, amazing value for money, and probably one of the best frames available in this price bracket.

why do you think Carbon is so good? it depends how well made it is. I would take a quality hydroformed Alloy Frame like this Giant, any day of the week over a cheap carbon frame. not all carbon is created equal.
matthew1888 to Judosteffer
12 Jul 15#70
totally agree. Too many folk fooled by the whole carbon thing.

if you're gonna spend 800 for half a job might as well splash out 250 extra and go the whole hog imo
