Hi all, looking for some guidance.
Got my eye on either a TCR advanced 1 or a Canyon ultimate CF SL 7.0 but I'm having a hard time deciding.
I'm planning to swap out the wheels on either bike next year and I'm sure I wouldn't notice a huge difference between the 105 on the ultimate and the ultegra on the TCR.
They are also around the same price (£1400-£1500)
Does anyone have an experience on either bike? Or even better, on both?
Any opinions on either bike will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

I have the SL 9.0 which has been a great bike but have you considered:

It's lighter than the 7.0 SL, has Ultegra instead of 105 and has better wheels. The only trade is for Alu rather than Carbon.Trainer Road Blog: https://hitthesweetspot.home.blog/

Go for the TCR. I worked on them at the bike shop I worked for and they are a very well thought out design. Simple to work on and quality components. Most of our race team chose these, with different wheels.
Also, with the Giant you can go and try the bike, get it fitted and support a local business for similar money.
Groupset-wise, 105 11 speed is fantastic. I've only ever worked on it, not ridden for an extended period. I have run Ultegra through 3 full years with no issues (winters included) so your money would certainly be well invested with Ultegra.0
