sorted byMy first road bike was a basic allez, the frame and forks were excellent, back then it was a racy bike, rather than an endurance bike. Not so sure if the Allez is still as racy or a bit more subtle. Worth baring in mind.
My issue with the Giant is it would be costly to move to 22 speed if you wanted to in the future, and I am guessing the base disc wheels will be hefty. The Spesh is current (other than lack of discs) and you could get some nice wheels for a low price should you wish to spice it up a bit.
I prefer the Giant personally. Hydraulic disc brakes all day long.
Meh disc brakes are so much more maintenance and issues... rotor rub is so common and when you take wheels off it's a pita if you accidently close the rotors. Also you tend to get far less for your money, equivalent rim brake bikes can have shimano 105 GS which is amazing and so reliable.
I ride a 105 rim brake, very low maintenance and easy to adjust, put on swiss stop pads and it stops basically the same as disc.
