some Shimano wheelset and Contintal UltraSport tyres
I bought this bike a couple years back as my first real road bike and upgraded it steadily since then. Still some upgrades in the pipeline, wheelset, stem and saddle are the next things.
The bike is older than I am but it served me incredibly well so far and I see no reason to upgrade to anything newer anytime soon. Still thinking about putting a modern groupset on but the current Ultegra still shifts like an absolute dream!

That’s a handsome machine.

When did they stop making aluminum TCRs, anyone know?
