Strengths: Durability, reliability, priceBottom Line: This bike is an awesome bike to start out with in the racing game. It has served me so well over the years. I've never had any problems, very durable. It's surprisingly lite and stiff and races well. I don't race much anymore, but I still use it for training and it still works great.
Favorite Ride: This bike

Strengths: Hills and streights. With Aero bars you can easally crouse at 27mphWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: In 1999 I was on the Hybrid doing 15-20 mile rides. Decided to move to the road. I did not know much about it but I listened to the advice of the shop owner. The new 200 TCR2 came out and that is what he recomended. The best money I ever spend. 10 years later of on and off riding I can say that this bike is the best on the road. I have seen bikes come and go through my friends and I still have no desire to change. The TCR2 all the bike I need for a 20- 80 mile ride. My freinds are now trying to find used ones because their new bikes are not as good. I have only had to adjust the 105s 3 times in 10 yrs.

Strengths: -- Solid Shimano 105 components
-- Light weight
-- A good bike for climbing
-- Carbon fork
-- Xero wheels have proved durableWeaknesses: -- Tektro brakes are not so great.
-- Stock Michelin tires didn't last long (replaced with Gatorskins)Bottom Line: I bought this bike a couple of years ago, and it has been excellent. It probably has more than 10000 miles on it, and there have been no major problems. It's very light--it zips up the hills. It has been solid on the descent, and the saddle seems fairly comfortable. The Shimano 105 components have worked beautifully. The only gripes are the Tektro brakes/pads, which haven't inspired a whole lot of confidence. Also, the stock tires weren't particularly durable.
Favorite Ride: hills
Price Paid:
$1200.00

dont think the other european bike are good such as look just cos they are expensive cos the giant is far better.you could have a carbon bike that is cheap and heavy or you can have a alloy bike that is the cheaper than the carbon but lighter and better. the cheap carbon bikes are crap and the olny time carbon is good is when you spend roughly 4000.
Bike Setup: dura-ace wheel giant tcr2 frame and dura-ace group set carbon seat and post

Strengths: strong, positive shifts, fast, just a solid solid bike.Weaknesses: none that I know ofBottom Line: This has been an absolute tremendous bike. I ride it in commuting to work and in races. It has been rock solid and fast. I ride about 150 miles per week. The only thing I changed on the bike are the wheels, I put Ksyrium Elites on and a more comfortable seat. Also, I am a 240 lb rider and really pound on the bike on hills, etc....
