Hello ST-
First post and looking for some opinions. Im new to tri and thinking of upgrading from an older road bike to a Trek Speed Concept. A bike shop near me (not my usual) has a new black/red medium 2015 SC 7.5 for $2800. The Trek website has the 2017 SC 7.5 for $3599, and the 2018 SC for $3999. I realize there are some build/component differences but overall they seem fairly minor. Assuming there would be a little bit of a price break on the purchase of a 2017 or 2018 from my LBS, which would you choose? My budget would cover the cost of the 2018 but not much else.
