Hi all,
Due to limited budget and knowledge in evaluating used bike, please help me to decide whether I shall get a 2012 tcr advanced sl or a 2014 defy advanced?
(I have yet to examine the bikes and let's assuming both are in good condition)
Specs as below:
2012 tcr advanced sl
Full 105 11spd model 5800
Crank 53/39
Cassette 11/28
Stem giant SL 120mm
Saddle selle X1
Wheel Reynolds stratus elite
£835
2014 defy advanced 2
Full 105 11spd 5800
Crank 50/34
Cassette 11/28
Giant Neos Cycling Computer
Giant Ridesense sensor
Giant PSL-1 wheel
Fizik Aliante versus
£930
My thoughts so far:
Tcr has certain parts upgarded while defy keep most of its part in original stock condition
tcr advanced SL is built by a far superior carbon material than defy, but the material is 2 years older than Defy
