I may be a Giant dealer, but I am more interested in getting people on the right bike- regardless of the brand. (well except maybe specialized as most of you know).

The avail IS NOT Giant's race geometry. As the other poster stated the TCR is the race bike. The avail is mean't for comfort on the long haul- centuries, and for those that just are not comfortable on an aggresive bike. It's actually the bike that a lot of people getting into the sport gravitate towards.

I do not know Scott's line, but you will want to make sure that it is not their relaxed geometry bike. Most manu's have them in their line now.

If you have it in your head that racing is in your future, I would defintely look towards race geometry. You can still ride centuries on it tho.
