My 54 evo was 733g for the frame and 303g for the fork uncut. In regards to BB stiffness, pretty sure sagan won everything on one of these at liquigas.

You found the supersix evo too flexy at the bottom bracket? I've never ridden the TCR ISP but thought the evo felt plenty stiff on a quick test ride. Haven't been able to take it for a longer ride.


It's more too flexy for my likings. Overall I like the evo and I would gladly ride it, I'm a big rider with enough power to make the chain touching the front mech while standing. A light rider could easily describe the TCR as too stiff in the bracket area.

Just completed the build of a TCR Advanced SL frame/fork with Campy Super record. The frame was the TCR Advanced SL 2 (Yellow) in Medium. Frame and fork on the TCR Advanced SL 0, 1, and 2 are identical except for color.

The frame weighed 975g uncut (the total was 1086g with seat clamp) the fork weighed 289 grams. Keep in mind that I DID NOT remove the ride sense probe, water bottle bolts, front or rear mechanism hangers prior to weighing, or weigh the bike after the ISP was trimmed.

Full Bike with Super record weighed 13.75 lbs (6.25kg)
Build included:
Campagnolo SR 175 crank with 53/39
Giant SLR stem and Bar
KMC Chain
Look Keo blade (Steel) pedals
Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio Saddle
American Classic Road Tubeless (set up tubeless with IRC formula pro tubeless light tires)
Ultegra 12-25 cassette
Arundel mandible cages
K-EDGE XL Garmin Mount

This bike can be made super light!

Mine:

6.140g with garmin mount and cages and 24mm carbon clinchers...
6.390g with garmin mount and cages and 50mm carbon clinchers

Frame a bit customized with red inserts

Specs:

Groupset: Super Record 2014.
Crankset: 175mm 53/39
Cassette: 25/11
Brakes: Token ultralight
Cables: Super Record
Wheelset: Farsports 23 x 24mm carbon clinchers (1210g incl rimtape)
Tubes: Continental supersonic (51g per tube)
Tires: Continental Force 24mm II (185g per tire)
Skewers: Farsports (44grams per set)
Barfly: 22g
Cages: Lightweight (18g per cage)
Stem: Zipp service course 110mm (153g)
Handelbar: Zipp ss 80 al bar 44cm (265g)
Bar tape: Lizzard skin 2.2
Saddle: Specialized toupe pro 143mm (161g)
Pedals: Look Keo carbon blade cromo (240g)

As you can see the stem and handlebar is not the lightest and I can shave of probably another 80grams there alone.
The saddle is also not the lightest and an easy change there can shave another 60 grams off taking it to sub 6kg.
But I am also a fan of comfort and handlebars that don't flex so 6.140 grams is very acceptable to me.

I think I alreay had a discussion here about it, but can someone post the real geometry table for the 2016 Advanced SL? I've found a total of 3 different geo tables when scrolling through the different countries of Giant website, even with total different sizes available (M/L sometimes being 50.0, sometimes 53.5) etc. So, if someone can clarify this, it would be cool 8)

may i ask how tall are you and what's your weight? i'm debating on upgrading my 2011 Scott Addict R1 to this frame. my guess is that it's much stiff compared to my old scott addict...
