"Grab a used Bonneville T100 or new Speed 400. Great bikes."
"Trident is a good fit."

"The Yamaha deal is prob the best bet if you want the bike to feel more like a bike and don't want to use a throttle."
"Best thing for hills is going to be a mid drive motor. So grab a Yamaha Crosscore for $1200."

Trek

"I'm usually a Spesh guy but, the trek is a better deal."
"I'd go with the trek since it has a better 105 groupset and full carbon, and is much cheaper"
"Trek full carbon is the better choice"
"I’d go with the trek. Price is good and it gives you money to buy your kit, helmet and other gear."
"At that price, go with the Trek. Great bike and you can save the extra money for a bike fit and some tri bars."
"I like that Trek, especially at that price."
"I think new Marlin 5's and Aggressor Experts come with 2x drive trains."
"Imo, based on price alone I’d go with the trek provided it fits fine."
