Had a Defy 2 mashed up by a car.

If not that what would you recommend for about £500(+-£300)?
What wheels would you recommend?

Was thinking carbon frame but not sure (boardman in Halfords £1k which is pushing it).

Can't actually sit properly at moment so hopefully will come back ok....
 
Do people ever part ex bikes?

I have a Planet X white SRAM carbon TT bike about 1 year old but only been used about 6 times! Other than that it's been sat in my living room.... £1200's worth just sitting there...

Don't know about part ex, not many shops sell both new and used bikes. But you could certainly sell it yourself. Maybe look at pinkbike or gumtree?

Do you work for Giant or something? :p It's just a pretty good deal someone shared in another thread, worth considering. OP could absolutely just get another Defy, maybe even a 1 or 0 with the deals going on, but they're clearly considering other options.

Eh? The TT bike was for purely Time Trials. Sub 26 minute 10 mile time trials and capable of much better with a decent rider! I never use it enough.

I only had the Defy 2 really which has done it all! :)

That Cannondale does sound like a good bike however I'd have to up the budget for that...
