I am new to the bike world. I've been reading up on bikes, test riding more than a handful of different ones and some more than a few times.  I've narrowed it down to either Scott CR1 Team (_{2200$) or Giant Avail Comp 1 (}2400$).   I really enjoyed both rides!  I'm leaning toward the Scott a little bit more, but really can't justify why (maybe because it's not as common of a bike around???).  But I'm kind of talking myself out of it because I feel like if I should go with the Giant because of the Ultegra components (and not that much of a price difference).  Being new to all of this I am wondering if the Scott is a better bike despite the 105 components.   Any info/suggestions would be wonderful!! thanks!!!
