They're more interested in building the latest hipster obsession - should've gone to the other guys!
Don't make the same mistake again! When I was looking, on paper the Giant was the bike for me. I went to buy it, after a test ride... Nope! It just wasn't for me.
But, on paper, it looked great. So, I would trust the on-paper, it is what it is. But, might not be for you.
(I ended up with nothing, I couldn't afford the bike that was for me, and I stuck with my recumbents, but if I hadn't been bent by then, I would have found the right bike, and so will you).
The Giant TCR looks like a great bike, but you won't know until you ride it.
