Giant TCR Advanced SL 1
$6,200.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:Light and stiff, but not uncomfortable. Very stable and confidence inspiring on decents. Gets up to speed faster and in spite of not looking very aero, holds speed well.
The Cons:The integrated seat post clamp needs to be checked for edges before installing or you could damage the paint. No place to hide on this bike, people who know bikes will expect you to make it go.
