cervelo s5 vs giant propel advanced

[jamma]

I got a hard choice out of both bikes as both are around the top budget i can afford and there both ultegra.

I have sat on both given a test ride but still unsure about them.

The reviews i have read say Giant have made the propel comfortable like the defy but have the aero properties.

The cervelo reviews just seem to say its quick and stiff but thats it.

Which one did you enjoy riding most? It can only be your choice I'm afraid, but if you are still unsure about both of them, perhaps neither one is for you and look at some others.

Ignore the reviews, choose on feel.

if you can't tell any difference riding them, then get one with the nicer paint job.

if @vickster was here, she's say the Giant, cause the Cervelo seems to be black.

There is no competition, But then i am biased. Giant make good bikes Cervelo make great bikes.

The Cervelo S3 has a much prettier paint job than the S5.

So did I. It was a thing of great beauty. Nearly got one but went down the R3 route instead. Don't regret that, but would go for a Cervelo any time instead of a Giant. However, I too am biased!
