I didn't realize I haven't posted up my current TCR (Probably because it's still UCI legal). I've had this for over a year now, and counts as my 7th TCR owned. In the past, this was built with Ultegra 8000 and Dura Ace 9100, but now has H11. The upgrades weren't intentional, and was due to both Shimano cranks failing on me HERE and my Dura Ace STI failing as well. I was a bit hesitant with the color at first, but now appreciate the striking color, since I'm seen by motorists a mile away.

Just sharing photos with all the groupsets used.

A few changes aside from the groupset:
- Giant Contact SLR One-piece cockpit to Kalloy Stem and Contact SLR Handlebar
- Stages PM 8000 and 9100 to Assioma Uno
- Reynolds Attack Disc to Campagnolo Bora DB

Great, what made you remove the integrated bars? (I am planning on using a set of 2020 integrated bars).

Beautiful bike, great shots too. I have a TCR advanced SL rim brake version and it's the best climbing frame i've ever been on.

Really just for weight savings. The older one-piece was a good piece of kit. Comfy and aero

Hi

Where did you get that kalloy OD2 stem from? I did not think they existed!

Thanks for posting the build.

Did you experience any problems with cable drag with the short rear loop (looks pretty tight to me).

I have a pretty similar build TCR and have had some issues with the stock campag cable not yielding up clean up and down shifts.

Any problems otherwise ?

So far so good, just to add I just switched to shimano spline to make use of SRAM Red (reusing old cassettes) and it too shifts fine. I'm using stock campy cables and housings
