You can't tell from the pics, but there is a "sparkle" to the paint job on the bike. Very cool effect. Thanks for the compliments!

One cool thing I like about the Quick 3( and the Quick 1&2 also) is the way the handle bars are slightly flared forward. It gives it a sleeker look. The Quick 4-8 have a slightly more upright style.

Will the 2019 Giant Fastroad SL 2 be released in US?

I saw this bike on the Australian and Canadian Giant websites. Does anyone know if this bike will be released in the US? Or Do we just get the SL 1 and SL 3? I like the color more than the SL 3.

My LBS is right on a paved trail. They will let you ride down the path quite a ways, so you get a good feel for the bike. You can just tell by the fit and the ride, whether the bike is for you. I...

I found a dealer with a Fastroad SLR. I'm going to test ride it. It's not the SL 3, but at least I can see how it fits geometry wise. I also saw a 2017 Trek FX S4 (no disc brakes) at a store about 40...
