I just picked this bike up brand new a few days ago from my LBS here in Saginaw, MI. It is a CF. I been taking it out for a little bit each day and it seems to ride bette every time. I am loving it so far. I thought the thin seat would give me problems with soreness but it is working out better than my last hybrid bike (2009 Giant FCR3). I dont even notice the saddle. This bike is so light weight it is much lighter than my older Giant. THis is my first carbon fiber bike.

At first I suffered from buyers remorse as I made a purchase many years ago with an expensive bike that I did not like at all. I bought it in the middle of winter and didnt get a chance to test ride it. (never again). I love the color scheme on this bike. Giant is very proud of their work as I can find Giants name about 37 times on this bike. Anyone looking for a CF hybrid- I highly recommend this bike. I haggled the manager down to $1,450- thats the lowest they would go on a 2014.
