How do you like those wheels? I'm having basically the same set built now.

How's that bar rides? Is it comfy on long rides and sprints?

the tcr's have always been my favorite road frame for some reason. and this build is exactly what i would go for if i had one. everything about it is perfect. great job!

love the frameset, especially the non ISPs.
question..is giant the only company to make 1 1/4" stems? i was going to grab this frame but found that as a huge turnoff.

currently they are. I heard Pro/Shimano was going to make some also.
I was a bit concerned at first, but the beefiness and stiffness is much better than a 1 1/8's stem.

Stiffness? Are you doing track sprints? :p
But really, what 1 1/8 stems have you noticed that aren't stiff?
Posted over 12 years ago
I do crits... so its kinda like track sprints.
On stems tried: Pro shimano/Deda/ FSA, 3t
... i havent had much luck.

That's good to know as I'm about to get a new road build started–mainly a climbing rig, but was looking at those stems.
What about integrated bar/stems?

Yeah...effing hell...if I would (or more accurately: *could*) buy a carbon road bike right now, it would probably be a TCR Advanced. Really sick set up. My size, too!

i have ridden a lot of road bikes and the TCR advanced SL is the best bang for the money. A very light, but stable road bike. definitely would recommend it

So, the day has come: I have joined the club. I picked up an XL TCR Advanced SL today on eBay. This will be coming just in time, as I recently had a back injury that has adversely affected my ability to ride, so hopefully a larger, carbon frame will make things more bearable. For the mean time, I'll be switching over the stuff from my BMC, but my next purchase will be a 2012/13 Campy Chorus gruppo.

This is great!
This is something along the lines of what I was planning with my next road bike.
