Just want to throw my 10 cents worth in. Giant always clear out their stock before a new model arrives. I have 2 mates who bought 2010 Trance X1's brand new for $2700 late last year. Thats alot of bike for not much more than the X2. If you are worried about weight, I built up my XO for endurance racing & it weighs 10.6kg. It could be even lighter if money was no object. I find the best characteristic of the Trance over the Anthem & other Cross Country orientated bikes is that it is so forgiving & compensating. When you get tired or sketchy, all you have to do is point & shoot. Make mistakes on other bikes & you will be punished. The Trance may not be as quick & responsive as others but it truly is a great all rounder.
