Fastroad advanced 1
Does anyone ride a Giant Fastroad Advanced 1? Thinking of moving to this as an only bike but there aren't any in my area yet. Any input would be helpful.
I would be selling a 2020 Topstone alloy 105 and a 2019 Quick 3 to finance the Giant.
Thanks in advance, Frank.

I like it: very nice bike and nice upgrade is my input. My buddy loves his Defy Advanced 1.

I don't own one, but know the bike well and have ridden it courtesy my LBS.
Very nice bike, and extremely good value for money. Be aware, though, that the fit is quite aggressive -- intentionally -- relative to, say, an equivalent-sized Sirrus. If that's what you are looking for, couldn't go wrong with one imo.

I don't have any experience with the bike but it looks nice.
Personally, no matter how nice/expensive a bike is I could never be happy with just one. Maybe just upgrade either or both current bikes.....

Personally, I'd avoid anything with a proprietary seatpost.
