Jolly green Giant- 2020 Giant TCR Advanced SL disc
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Thank you. The colour persuaded me to buy the frame. That and the fact that Giant uses their own manufactured carbon. It was either a TCR or a Tarmac.
Although it was hard to make the decision based on pictures only as the colour changes a lot in the sunlight, I am happy with my choice.
I have now cut the steerer. I will try to take some new pictures.
Some have asked me about the ride quality of the wheels and integrated handlebars. However, Ifind it hard to comment as I have gone from aluminum rims and stem/handlebars to carbon and switched from GP4000 with butyl tubes to Turbo Cottons with latex tubes. Also I went from 42 cm bar width to 40 cm. Major changes and very pleased with all the components I choose. O focussed on sub 6,8 kg and a bit of aero with the 46 mm wheels and integrated handlebars.

I have added some pictures in the third post on page 1.
First part has been done. Now for the hardest part, a name . I am open for suggestions. I never named a bike before .
Hmmmm, how about Green Hornet, Chameleon Dragon, Jolly Green Giant?
Bianchi Oltre XR4, De Rosa SK Pininfarina, Trek Madone SLR, Giant TCR Advanced SL, Cervelo R5 Disk, Giant Revolt
I like Jolly Green.
Yes, and I also like the fact the logo and brandname is not everywhere on the frame and fork.
Love it, excellent job. Disc bikes are getting lighter.

Thank you. No problems with the Speedneedle. Although I hope Berk will come with an option for a lighter ISP clamp or even integration with a Berk saddle.

How do you get on with the Speedneedle? How's the comfort/flexibility etc?

Can I just this is a great build / inspo.
I like many have been keenly eyeing the 2021 bikes but colour is most important than a few grams (perhaps I am not a true WW) because I see it everyday.
I do believe some bikes are just special. People like Noctiluxx has a few of these (De Rosa SK, XS TCR) but you've added another to the list!
I am looking at building something very close to this, even with LB AR wheels but only once I get my fit sorted. Thanks for posting your weigh-in numbers! They are super helpful.
Can I ask, once that Dura Ace chain wear outs, you consider going for a KMC SL in gold?
Is there anything if your partlist you would reconsider? It looks very solid to me. You've pretty much built a disc bike to rim brake SL weights.
