It has an upgrade to Shimano 105 with a nice Praxis crankset and a decent looking wheelset. I would have to look at the Trek's wheelset again, but the 2020 Fastroad SL 1 is particularly nice. Giant have upgraded it to 105 from the Tiagra of the 2019 model for a tiny price increase that's in line with normal inflation.
Guess I have to take the time to do a bit more research. I see videos that say 3 Sprocket drives at the crank are better Others say 2 > Guess it depends what I'm going to do riding wise. I purchased a Dual Sport 2 Strictly on Looks : Like it but can see it's not the best for the level of rides I've already done. Plus the thing seems to loose adjustment quick.
