Any demand for old Yakima rook racks?

I have a roof rack that is the old Yakima 48" round bar "Y-clip" and "Y-tower" system.

Trying to decide: Giant Defy Advanced 2 or Trek Domane AL5

I'm trying to decide between 2 new road bikes to buy. I've whittled a much longer list down to just these 2 based on availability, warranty, etc.
