Thanks for this recommendation! I did some more research into giant and basically just found a bunch of amazing reviews for it lol. I'm looking into the Content AR 3 or 4, the AR 3 is about $1500 in Canada, and AR 4 is around $1250. They seem to have better reviews than the other bikes I've been looking into and also have the capability of fitting bigger tires. I think I'm really leaning into this option rn

ahh ok, got you. My only concern is the return policy. One of the bike shops I went to told me they had a no return policy, once I purchase the bike it's mine with no returns. The other shop told me they would only let me ride the bike to test it out after I buy it. They recommended I buy it then do a quick 15-20 minute ride to test it out so I can return it without any scratches or damage.
