Another Vs. Thread: Giant Advance Defy vs Emonda SL
Anyone have any thoughts on comparing these two? I've been looking at the Defy 1 and the SL5. I gather the Giant is probably more endurance-oriented and the Emonda more aggressive, but a lot of people seem to like the Emonda just as much for an endurance ride. For $2k, the difference seems to be Ultegra on the Defy vs 105 on the SL5. But I'm not sure about how to compare the quality of carbon. I'd appreciate any wisdom from the forums.
