Great info from all! NormanF, that Eightball looks very nice. I have been hitting the Performance Bike site, but the closest one is over an hour away, whereas I have a handful of various LBS under 25 miles. As it stands, I can get the 2016 GT 3.0 for $600.00 even, around $110 under GT's posted MSRP. But I do plan to follow "used's..." advice and ride them both, Roam 2 & GT Transeo 3.0. I would throw the Trek 8.3 DS into the mix as well, but the LBS for Trek isn't going to have one until late Nov and I just don't want to wait that long to get on new ride.
