Giant TCR -Any owners out there?

[SWSteve]

Hi,

I'm looking at picking up a *new* Giant TCR in the next couple of months, and wanted to hear from anyone who owns one, who isn't trying to sell me the bike in their shop...

Thanks in advance

Presumably you test rode one? If not....

No small in stock, man in shop said he would see what they could find

I picked mine up today after a test ride around some bumpy Bradley Stoke tarmac. I wanted to make sure it didn't feel to harsh a ride after years on a Defy. It felt great. Have not ridden it yet in anger though..

Tried Giant Bristol in Bradley Stoke ? I think they had a small ?

Did you visit the giant store next to the massive Tesco?

I'll call into Lbs this weekend and see if he had any luck. If not I'll call into Bradley stoke

Ive had one for a few years now and love it . I've always said i wish my TT bike was as good as the TCR so much so that as soon as i found out i could get a Trinity in my size i ordered one .

I have a TCR, out of my small selection of bikes it's the one that gives me the most confidence when cornering at speed.

Agree with @the_mikey. I've got the TCR Advanced 3, (only a couple of months old) and it handles really beautifully, particularly on quick descents. They're a very quick and light bike. I thought I'd have some comfort issues from the geometry as the first couple of rides were sore on the neck and shoulders, but it turns out that's because I was a lazy old knacker that hadn't ridden that far in ages. No worries now.

TCR ADVANCED 1 here. You won't be disappointed if you want a stiff insanely quick bike. Buy it. Love it. I may be a bit biased
