Specialized Tarmac S-Works SL4 or Giant TCR Advanced SL1, which is the better bike for the price?

    Very different geometry. Try them out and see for yourself.

    What are the prices?

    I have an SL4 Sworks and love it, but the Giant is probably better value for money.

    The Giant is £4999 with dura ace 9000 and specialized is £6500 with dura ace 9000, so it must be about the frame!!

    The Spec has a better wheelset and the full-carbon Spec crankset. That's close to a 1k difference...

    That's true. I have the Sworks crankset and it's very nice; light, low profile, low Q factor and matches the bike well. I paid about 500 Euros for it I think when I bought my frameset.
