Giant defy advanced 3 2016????
Sorry for the essay to come. Recently bought a 2nd hand Boardman comp for my 100mile bike ride for charity. Ive loved training and want to get into it more. Ive seen this defy advanced 3 2016 for £919 from pedal on. Ive been advised the 105 shimano groupset. However this is the tiagra. Will there be a massive difference between the 2 groupsets. Next one for me is 1500 with the ultegra or 105. What shall i do??

There isn't a huge difference between Tiagra and 105. You get 10 speed instead of 11-speed, and perhaps some marginal weight savings. I wouldn't worry about it. I'm guessing the 1500 version would have the Ultegra, which is also 11-speed.

Defy Advanced with 6800 would be sweet ride for sure. Can't tell you how good a deal it is, but if it's within your budget go for it!

I can confirm that a Defy with Ultegra is a sweet ride indeed
