Bikes: Liv Avail Advanced Pro

So, I bought a 2015 Sirrus Sport Disc in July 2015. I loved it and put 1200 miles on it. Admittedly, many of those miles were on a smart trainer connected to Zwift. Today, I bought a 2017 Sirrus Sport Carbon Disc. Will have the bike shop take accessories from the "old" and put on the new (they do this for free when purchasing a bike, so why not have them do it...). I ride with a luggage rack Bontrager Interchange Rear Trunk Bag - Trek Bicycle Superstore and Bontrager BackRack L - Trek Bicycle Superstore New bike doesn't have holes at the top of the seat stay so dealer has ordered a seat post clamp with the points on each side where the top of the rack can be connected. So, that won't be switched between the bikes tomorrow. I have been lusting all summer and really began lusting after it with the 2016 model. The bike stock weighs a little over 4 pounds less than my Sport non-carbon. I know it is only four pounds, but that will make a difference to me taking the bike in and out of the house. Plus, I am hoping the carbon will absorb the road a bit more and perhaps reduce the irritation to my wrist (right one only). The main reason I got this bike, though, is just because I fell in love with it. Pics to follow, but probably not until the rack and bag are moved to it.


Edit: I just remembered that I can attach pics. So the first picture is of my 2015 Sirrus Sport Disc that I bought in July of 2015. The second bike is my new 2017 Sirrus Sport Carbon Disc that I picked up this past Saturday. Also turns out the bike comes stock with the kind of seat binder that allows for the rack to be attached. I found this in the specs and pointed it out to the dealer so I was able to get the rack and bag transferred immediately.


Oh, and some how I ended up saving 17 pounds from the old bike to new bike. I added lighter pedals and a lighter mirror, but that can't possibly account for much.
