harrv, took a look at the 2011 Giant Speed "0" same config as you listed...very nice, except the price has gone up to about the same as the Soho DLX, but you do get the Alphine vs the Nexus, big difference from my perspective..more important than not have the Gates Belt drive for me....i'll go check it out at a local shop this weekend, thanks for the recommendation...by the way, how many miles each way in your commute?
