I'm still baffled at how Giant or any other brand does not market their cross bikes this way.
I gotta think the big difference is that Open is not in the road bike specific market, while the other major brands you mentioned are. Why would they market one bike in their many lineups as a quiver killer? That would be suicide for them.
