Hello from a very wet and gloomy Manchester, my google searches keep leading me here so I'm thinking I should contribute.
I have two bikes at the moment, neither a true weight weenie but works in progress when time and mostly money allow.
I'll list full specs and weights when I'm finished.

2015 CAAD10. Weight as pictured 8070g
2015 Caad10 Ultegra 7.1kg
2016 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 6.6kg

I think you like black :D

Nice bikes already, definitely a lot of potential.

Oh nice ! How does the caad compare to the TCR ? Was wondering whether I should 'upgrade' from my caad :)

Thanks, I haven't put enough miles on the Giant to make a fair comparison, I'll keep you posted.

I'm ashamed to say I still haven't put any miles on the TCR, I've just finished setting it up how I want it and the idea was to use it as a summer bike, well summer hasn't arrived in Manchester yet.

Canofale well from a gloomy gloucester, is that a small tcr and a 52 or 50 caad. I'm looking at getting a tcr in the very near future , i guess your around the 5ft 8 mark ? I too ride a caad10 so will be eagerly awaiting your comparison on the tcr. Cheers

Yes, Giant is small and caad is 50, I'm 5'7, I've since replaced the straight post on the caad for 25mm set back, Caad feels perfect, I've a feeling I'm going to need a longer stem on the Giant but we'll see, hopefully I'll get out on it this week a couple of times and write up a full comparison.
