I agree on buying year old at discount and giant makes a good bike also. Here's how I got my $3500 trek for $1500. Went to bike shop and rented a demo. Did that 3x with rental $ applied to future sale. In Aug when shop was paying for new year inventory they sold rental at their cost. I was only renter and had damaged derailure on last rental so they were worried if I kept renting it I would break something. So bought it and they repaired it, then 3 weeks later I ripped derailure off bike. So they were right. So if in your shoes I would look into demo and never pay full retail. Bike tech changes so fast that 1yr old bikes can be found at significant discount.
