Hi Folks,
I've been eyeing up a new bike (my first road bike in fact) and saw C+ review of the Giant TCR Alliance which comes in at œ1,250, it looks great with a mix of carbon and ali and has Ultegra shiny bits...
...any comments about this bike? alternatives (I also looked at the Specialized Tarmac and Roubaix)? I'm wanting a fast commute, leisure bike but also something I can compete with (in the lower echelons of triathlons).
I also understand the TCR comes with as a compact which I understood to mean as smaller front cogs(?). I was a bit worried about this if it means it'll be slow, is that the case?
Cheers for any tips,
Toby
hmmm, why doesn't this forum email me when a thread changes...
