the website does not work for me in chrome, but it does work for me in microsoft edge.
bike appears to be available in the following sizes:
48cm
51cm
54cm
56cm
58cm
also, bike seems to have a $79 "oversize handling fee" which, also covers the shipping.
tax for me would be $82.73, which means the total cost (for me) is $1,461.55, in case that saves anyone time.
$1300 looks to be the price just about everywhere for this right now.
Keep in mind this is a race bike. It's got a tight, twitchy geometry. It's not built for comfort over many meandering hours in the saddle.
Also, if you're going to race this in a crit, for example, rim brakes are preferred due to weight savings. It's not like they don't work, it's a tried and true technology. Disc just tend to work a bit better, especially in wet conditions.
I was going to come in before the "this isn't an e-bike?" crowd and say this is a good deal. But buying a rim brake-equipped bike in 2023 makes little sense.
Anyone shopping this would be better served in the used market. If you're buying new, buy a bike with HYDRAULIC disc brakes.

Polygon road bikes are solid. I own the S8 and it's the best bang for the buck carbon road bike under $2.5k.
S5 is probably the cheapest road bike you can find with full 105 groupset.

Look at priority bikes L train). Not carbon fork or 105 groupset, but you're getting an IGH (internally geared hub), belt drive and hydraulic brakes for 800 (usually 900, but there's a 100 dollar sale on their website now).
There's also the priority Turi for 850 (after sale) with CVT, belt drive and hydraulic brakes.
You can get some pretty decent ones like the Giant Escape. I wouldn't recommend dumping 750 into a hybrid bike. Get one you can kick around for cheap. A road bike is better investment overall. They're faster, lighter, and have better components for the same price.

or you could lose 1/2 pound of weight, and keep the disc brakes.

First they do away with made in the USA, now they get rid of the double triangles? Just like every other mass produced import bike now.
USA-made bikes haven't existed much since the early aughts, dude. I had a 1997 Mountain Goat and a 2001 Schwinn Homegrown both built in the U.S. Last two U.S.-made bikes I've had.

Any suggestions for a hybrid for around 750?
