I just bought a Fastroad Advanced 2 this weekend. I had my eye on it, the Trek FX Sport and Specialized Sirrus. I'm replacing my Marin DSX2. I've never loved my Marin as it's kinda heavy and a bit slow. I upgraded the Marin's wheelset as I wanted to run tubeless and I just can't get it quite to where I like. I'm a mtb rider first and foremost but wanted a bike for rainy days when I'm stuck on gravel/streets or a bike to do pub crawls with. I won't do dropbars and I would have gotten the Advanced 1 but I also don't do 2x chainrings. I leave both those things to roadies. Anyway, no thoughts yet on this bike as I've just started riding it up and down the street and getting all the adjustments made. I can say that right away it's faster than my DSX 2. I don't love the groupset or wheelset on this but unless I see a glaring problem I'll probably keep it as is.
