Reckon you guys might be a bit harsh on the pricing top end Adv 0 bikes are usually right up there. Not saying I'd pay $9K for a Giant, but it's only incrementally more expensive than previous years and does come full carbon frame and DVO squish. With a reasonable LBS discount the Adv 1 could be ok value. All the reviewers (who presumably got a free trip to Italy - so totally unbiased) seem to be talking up the 115mm of travel. It's probably all I really need but a bit like buying a car with less horsepower it's tough to go back.
