Specialized Hard Rock Disc
No idea what level components but they're nothing special. Tektro discs brakes, Shimano shifters, SRAM cassette,Shimano Altru derailures, Alex rims,.etc.etc.
I love it. Remember I'm coming from a 15 y/o chromolly,cantilever brakes bike so this is heaven for me! lol

check out the giant revel 0. about the same price but has a 4" travel front fork which will make longer distances more comfortable.

hybrid bikes suck. you'll get one, you'll hate it, then you wont be able to sell it.

Car Info: Reason

I'm in the market for a new road bike. I sold my full DA/Ksyrium SL Giant TCR C-Zero about 2 years ago and I am having pangs of desire.

I probably won't get a DA bike again this time, but I did at the time because it was a 2-year-old leftover at the bike shop I used to work for. I can still get a great deal on something, but more than likely I'll get a SRAM Force or Ultegra gruppo.
