Pro race bikes have changed a lot in just 10 editions of Paris-Roubaix, so we thought we’d compare John Degekolb’s 2015 rim brake Giant Defy Advanced SL to Mathieu van der Poel’s Canyon Aeroad CFR and Lotte Kopecky’s Specialized Tarmac SL8.

Which bike would you ride- that rim brake Giant Defy from 2015, or the Canyon Aeroad from this year? Let us know in the comments!
