I'm looking at the Cadent as well... I've narrowed my choice down to between the Cadent FT1 and the Giant FCR3. I have not found a cadent locally to ride yet but a cool dealer is ordering me one before I decide. The Giant is a few dollars cheaper and the gears are slightly different on them. I lean toward the Cadent still but still have not made up my mind for sure.

I tried to paste a table of the specs here but it looked like crap.

Anyone have any input on the differences between the two?
