anybody own a Giant Trinity 1.0

I just got a 2008 Trinity A2 which is the same frame as the 2008 A1 but a little lower end components.  I managed to get one from the LBS for $699.  I moved up from a 20 year old Schwinn so I'm not sure I can offer the best frame of reference compared to other tri bikes.  However, I can say that I really love this bike.  I think the frame is higher end then most other bikes around this price as part of the top tube, seat tube and seat stays are carbon along with the seat post and fork.  I find the bike to be extremely smooth and it seems plenty stiff for my 230 lbs.  Based on what I have seen, I can make this bike grow with me in the future with better wheels and components but its plenty good as is for my current abilities. 

if you mean the trinity a1, i have the 2007 version, and would be happy to answer any questions you have. ive been thrilled with my bike, no problems whatsoever. just curious, if neither of the bike shops in your area carry giant, what caused you to decide on that brand? im sure you can find a closeout deal from one of the two LBS on a brand that they carry.
