The only other bike I really wanted was a LOOK 795 but was a little beyond budget. I am not that picky about my bikes. The sponsor we got said we could get the best deal on Giants and that is what we went with, however, I can say that this bike rides like nothing I've ever ridden before. I think Giants don't get the badass rep that bikes like Tarmacs, Pinas and Treks do but these bikes may be the best bikes out there. The only bike I'd consider on top of this one would be a Venge Viias Sworks.. which is $13k.

I honestly think that this bike is worth a try. I understand how being caught up in the lightest and most aero is what iis "in" now but good riding quality and stiffness is what this bike is all about. It is not the lightest or most aero, but it is a PURE RACE BIKE. Which is what I want. After all, 14.8 pounds with cages, power meter and GPS holder aint that bad either.
