Different Bikes carries Giant. I stopped in the Burnaby store and they had nothing for road bikes, sent me to Vancouver (Broadway). I went there and they had a few which I test rode but not much of a selection really. I hear the West Van store is the best place for a road bike but I didn't make it out there.

FYI I went in about July 27th right before I bought my Jamis and test rode a Defy 1 there which has an MSRP of $1389 for a 2012 model. When I was getting ready to leave, the manager mentioned they will be going on sale August 1st and would give me the "sale price" if I wanted to buy it then... which was $1189 for a 2012 model. They may or may not be on sale but it shows they are willing to dicker on price which is more than a lot of shops will do, especially on 2012 product.

I never was able to test ride a Specialized, sorry can't help there!
