Hi There

 

New to the forum and I am looking for some advice/help.

Unfortunately I had my bike stolen on the weekend and am looking to replace it with a good deal.

Some cycling friends have advised me I cant go wrong with the Giant TCR Advanced 1 and have suggested looking at the 2015 model which should be on sale.

Unfortunately my LBS does not have my size in stock so I was hoping someone could advise the best place to locate this bike in a large frame.

Also are there any similar bikes I should be considering with a max budget of £1200.

Thank you for any advice in Advance!!

TCR’s are indeed awesome
TCR’s are indeed awesome bikes and a personal +1 to Giant Leamington Spa (formerly the Bike Yard) – a great shop.

All Giant dealers should be of a certain standard though in order to act as a franchise to sell and service the brand.

Also Giant’s warranty is apparently good, not that I’ve had to use it.

Hi Guys thanks for the info,

Hi Guys thanks for the info, I’m currently looking into a planet x pro carbon with the Ultegra group set…looks like a lot of bang for your buck

Only concern is the intitial measuring up procedure & the after sales if something were to go wrong.

Will keep my eyes open though and appreciate the advice

 

Thank you

I have a 2014 TCR and although I’m quite happy with it’s performance I really think you can get better value. The stock Giant wheels are rubbish IMO and you seem to take a hit on the groupset compared to competition.

I would just have a good read and see what turns up rather than having a specific bike in mind.

I’ve got the tcr advanced 1

I’ve got the tcr advanced 1 2015 ultegra and its a fine machine, you might struggle to find a 2015 model now but a 105 2016 is £1199. Its still a lot of bike for the money.

I am sure nobody plans to fall off, but s##t happens. Therefore feel it could be helpful to know others experience.
