Excellent – I shopped around for a new bike so I know what's out there and what price you have to pay. In compasion to other brands with similar set ups, it's the best value for money I could find. But I didn't subject quality of ride to save a buck. Some other bikes around seemed stiff or felt like they'd fall apart if you hint a rut in the road. From the moment I jumped on this bike it just felt right in everyway, what a ride! This bike was nimble from the minute I jumped on it, light, fast and a joy to ride. (with exception to the seat)If your thinking of buying one do yourself a favour and don't hesitate, you wont regret it for a minute. The seat whilst a fisik seat is uncomfortable and rock hard. You'll need to invest in a new one so talk to your dealer and perhaps you can sort it out when you buy the bike.
Price; In comparison its a great value for money bike, but it will cost you around $3400.00. So if you have this sort of cash go for it.
The recommended retail is $3999.00, but you'll pick it up for around $3400.00. I live in the out back and still got it from my local dealer "Pushy Bikes" in Emerald for $3400.00
Hi James, wondeirn ghow the bike is? Mine hasn't missed a beat. I changed my seat out as i didn't like the fiziik but hey everyone has a different butt. I replaced my tyres for Gatorskins and haven't looked back, he only tyre I'll use.
Excellent – Awesome bike in the last 12 months I have owned a Pinarello FP3, Felt B16,Trek Madone 4.9. TCR wins hands down easily a better bike over the far more expensive Pina and Trek. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking about one to do it. TCR is stiff as - great for climbing has INCREASED my ave climb speed by 2-3km per hour and very fast in sprints. Ultegra groupo is awesome and compared to dura ace i would never justify the expense again. Steep seat tube angle is great - value for money TCR is an unbelievable package. Nil Zip Nada - oops sorry spokes are showing signs of rust after a few months.

My previous bike was an all alloy Giant Peleton. I liked this bike but it was " love at first ride" when I rode the TCR. The full carbon makes for great comfort, power output, and responsiveness. The Michelin pro 3 light tyres are nice and racy but they do ware out fairly fast. Some don't like the fi'zi'ik seat, but it suits me. I paid $3000 for mine new at the Warwick bike shop QLD. I've owned this bike for 6 months now and the honeymoon still isn't over. It's a ripper. James
