I have been starting to bike more recently but have a really old bike that I've finally decided to upgrade. I tow my little girls in a trailer and decided I want to go a little further and faster with them so I decided on getting an endurance bike. After a lot of researching and trying some bikes out, the Defy seems like a good bike that I can get and not worry about upgrading again for awhile. I was thinking of staying under 5k but the cheaper the better while getting good value.
My LBS has an older Defy Advanced 1 (2022) for $3650 and the newer model for $4400. It seems the main difference is color and the ultegra vs 105 di2 on the newer model. For $800 would it make sense to make the jump for the di2?
Thanks for any advice
