at LBS Model Year: 2007 Favorite Ride: Hills Bike Setup: 7900 DA group, Arione saddle, FSA bars and stem, Ksyrium SL's Summary: This review is for the 2008 TCR advanced 0 with 7900 dura ace group(Australian Model). In the 6 weeks that I have had it, I have to say that it is just fantastic. Light years ahead of the alloy tcr's of a few years ago. This bike just rockets up hills, with no perceptible flex at all. The bottom bracket area is huge, and it certainly backs the look up with performance. ride quality is quite compliant on less than pefect surfaces, allowing more comfortable time in the saddle. The presentation of the bike is very good, being coupled with DA 7900 and Mavic SL's it looks great. I would recommend this bike to anyone who wants a responsive, light reliable machine that can be used for training or racing. Strengths: Ride quality. Stiff in all the right places, responding to inputs beautifully, yet giving enough comfort for rides of many hours duration. Overall presentation, finishing kit and DA 7900 complete a top package. Weaknesses: Not enough hours in the day to fully enjoy it! Similar Products Used: Giant TCR 1(alloy frame), other older steel frame road bikes.
