A 56 tarmac SL4 fits me like a glove as does a 56 cannondale evo.

Those options would require finding a -6 angled 1.25 stem, though that is getting easier now. (assuming you are using the stock -8 stem)

The new TCR ML is within a couple of mm of being exactly the same Frame XY as Supersix Evo and Tarmac SL4. So for you the changes are good.

@patchsurfer - how many spacers under the stem and what bars are you using?


Well this is good news indeed, thanks for your help!

I know the TCR isn't Giant's aero road frame, but I can't help but wonder how this new bike measures up to the old TCR aerodynamically. Does anyone know of any aero data on this bike?
