Looking up upgrading to a new bike.
My mate has a Cervelo R5 2013 and I LOVE IT! It's such a nice bike to ride but I have only ridden it a few kilometres.
I thought that was the bike I wanted but it's kinda out of my price range in the Dura Ace spec I am after.
The TCR Advanced SL 0 is NOT a bike I thought I would buy. I haven't ridden one yet but damn there are a lot of good reviews about this bike. It's $1000-$1500 cheaper than the R5 but the TCR includes Dura Ace Di2.
The other two bike have good reviews but the Bianchi would only be ultegra 11sp. The Izalco would be a $2500 saving over the R5.
Being a bit of a snob, I really din't want to buy a Giant - is it really that good?

Any help, experience or input would be greatly appreciated.

    TCR Advanced SL is a pro level frame. Whether is 'does it' for you is a question only you can answer.
