You keep talking about how it comes up short vs the competition, yet the competition doesn't seem to be worth the asking price to you.
the looks. I’m considering all bikes from manufacturers I can reach, many are not available. Giant has better components but so so looks, canyon is back ordered to July 2021, Bianchi isn’t even trying at this price point. I already have specialized so I want to try other brands. The trek looks the best and there’s the bonus of being able to buy it from a real store but if the price is non negotiable then I’m going to look elsewhere. Every bike has its big plus, I’m looking at options.
