I am really keen on the Giant TCR Composite 2 2013, has anyone got one? I am wondering if it is a worthy buy, and also will the composite 1 be a better buy for an extra £400. Any opinions please.

    Hi, I have the 2013 composite 3 and very happy with it other than wishing it had full ultegra like the Composite 1.

    If you can stretch to the composite 1 then it is worth going for it, otherwise you may later regret not doing. Ultergra is lighter and slightly more slicker in shifting, better brakes, plus the wheelset is a good upgrade.

    I would say the extra £400 is good value plus you will Not need to upgrade anything ever other than maybe the saddle.

    Plus the White frameset is very very nice.

    Go for the 1, there will be no regrets.

    You may still find TCR composite 2 2012 around for cheaper with similar spec

    I have the 2012 TCR composite 1 and think its a great bike and good value for the money. The only thing I did do was to get my lbs to swap out the giant wheel set and change the compact chain set for a 53/39. (Just my personal preferences). But for the price with ultegra group set, a good looking bike and a great ride.
