Giant Bicycle Inc. TCR A0

Price Paid:  $0.00 at LBS

Model Year:
2007

Favorite Ride:
Havent found it yet

Bike Setup:
Full ultegra with easton EA90 SL Wheels (huge improvement over stock Aksiums)

Summary:
Had a full Carbon Opus with ultegra and dura ace which was really smooth but sprinted like a noodle, took the TCR for a test ride on a whim and bought it the next day, couldnt believe the difference in BB stiffness while still riding as smooth as a full carbon. No butt vibes on rough pavement. Really easy to ride, feels fast.

Strengths:
Stiff like a cannondale Caad 8 without beating the stuffing out of you on rough roads like a caad 8.

Weaknesses:
Heard it is a heavyish frame (havent weighed it myself) Fork/ front end feels a bit flexy but the bike still feels solid at speed and downhill.

Similar Products Used:
Opus creshendo full carbon, Cannondale Caad 8, Norco CRR carbon and CRD and some older bikes.
