After crack on my Bianchi Oltre (will get replacment frame and sell it) I decided to go with new bike. So after searching for a few days I discovered this TCR Sl 3 from 2014, and it was on fantatic price of 2000 € for a new bike. I only did few rides and I like it very very much, it is much stiffer than 2012 Bianchi Oltre, it is little harsher than bianchi but has better ride feel IMO. My friend tried it for a spin and said it was the best frame he ever riden (now riding Lapierre Aircode, and had Aeroad (old model) and Super six). Need to cut down fork to get exact weight.

Here is some new pics from my garden on beautiful day... i managed to do lot of km's on TCR in this month and I love it... It begs to be riden aggressively witch is hard to do when you need to accumulate long easy km's in this part of year... :D
