Hadn't even thought about money for a lock. May have to compromise on bike price for all the accessories!

Shiny road bike secured in plain sight, you should spend a good chunk on locks, plural and most definitely make sure it is insured for the full value after any excess

Buy the defy and do what i do, keep it in the living room and move the wife to the kitchen.

Ok, so I went bike shopping at the weekend. I was probably looking at, sat on, discussing or deciding on bikes for about 4 hours. Finally decided to go with the 'defy 4'. Found it the most comfortable and the guys in the shop were most helpful.

Time will tell if it was the right choice!!

Good choice, did you go for the compact or triple?
My lad has got the 2300 on his spesh and it seems OK and it can always be updated at a later date if need be.
