Was tempted to go aero bike but the tcr side profile is so timeless and there’s something to be said for aero wheels on a climbing frame

Spent a year on a pretty maxed out Allez Sprint but realised that I was missing having a super light weight bike.
Build specs below:
Frameset: TCR Advanced SL 2025 – 52cm
Groupset: Dura Ace R9200 (with Galfer rotors and SwissStop ExoTherm2 pads)
Wheels: Cadex Ultra 50
Tyres: GP5000 S TR – 30mm
Saddle: Selle Italia Tekno Boost
Cockpit: Cadex Race – 37cm
Pedals: Rally RS200
Bottle Cages: Topeak Feza r10
Overall weight: 6.8kg
Climbing bikes aren’t usually my thing, at least not as much as aero bikes, but this looks amazing, good stuff dude!
Man the TCR really is a timeless bike, color is also fire
That colour is something else, great stuff
missed having super light weight frame but then you don’t say the final weight … c’mooon
It’s perfect 👌🏼
that paint job is pretty cool. that integrated seat post is wild- If I think about it though, the amount of adjustability the average person needs is probably a lot less than one might assume, so it probably isn’t an issue at all (assuming you got the right frame size to begin with).
Hate the isp……totally a sucker for a tcr!
Nice build. Solid all around. I really wish cadex were hooked, but at 30mm+ tires the safety risk is less than 28/25mm tires.
I often wonder how giant will compete as more direct Chinese brands develop better priced bikes and gain brand recognition.
Love to see a quality TCR build! That setup must rip!
TCR’s, both old and new, wll never go out of style.
fantastic bike, beautiful colourway and solid componets-choice. congratulations: its a dream bike. only thing i would change is throwing some tanwall tires on – but thats highly subjective 😉
btw: how long is that stem & how do you like the bars?
