Yes, considered that. I just don't like how they look. If I'm going to spend $1k to $2K on a bike, it's going to be one I like the looks of as well. Not the primary driver, but it's up there. ...

Ah, got it. Apparently there is a large SL1 at a shop in downtown Boston near Kenmore Square, and the next nearest is 300 miles away in Pennsylvania. Seem to be more SL3s, there is a shop about 40...

I will actually be near a Giant dealer tomorrow, so I will check them out and see what is in stock. The FastRoad Advanced may be a better value, but it also costs $500 more than the Trek. However,...
