Very, very nice. I'd love to see the bike that you don't take travelling!

Thanks, but as far as stiffness at the right areas such as head tube and BB comparable to the 2014's?


Stiffness is about the same, but it feels more "planted" on the corners and descents

Thanks!

I had a piece of round stick laying around, placed it the crank bolt, and then removed it in Photoshop.

Thought this was the most appropriate thread to use.

The Giant (Germany) now shows weights. I assume for size Medium.

Displayed at bottom of Specification (SPEZIFIKATIONEN) and the comparison tool

Manufacturers as a rule give weights of smallest size in lightest setup without grease, hydraulic fluid, lubricants, assembly compounds, pedals & so…


Anyway, given by Giant weights let me think that some weights given by bike owners ( i'll be very gentle ) are not so accurate, to not say…... :shock: OR I'm wrong, and Giant Germany gave wrong weights…

2nd thing is pricing : UK stores are 500€ cheaper on TCX SLR1…

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that ;)

New to me, but used TCR frame. Swapped out from a ML as I wanted to see what the difference felt like. 7970 series Di2 with 9000 cranks with a Stages on this one and shod with a set of 8.9s today.

This is my current set, sadly had to say goodbye to my truck (2012 VW Amarok) a couple of weeks ago, but I get a new Skoda Octavia wagon to replace it soon!

List as it sits:
2015 Trance SX medium
2015 Anthem Advanced 1 medium (for my wife)
2014 Propel Advanced SL0 XS
2013 TCR Advanced S - Campagnolo Record gruppo/Ambrosio wheels
2013 XTC Advanced SS medium

Just waiting on a new 'cross bike. Also have to move the Propel on for a current season's model.
