Anyone have any experience with this bike? I have heard nothing but good things about it so far. Planning on ordering it today. Any opinions?

I have it. Almost a 1000 miles on it, no problems. Switched to Ksyrium SLs though. Do time trials on it.

Since there are only 3 sizes you want to make sure this type of geometry works for you.

Good luck.

Oh, one more thing. You should be able to get this for around $2000 now. I wouldn't pay $2500 for it at this point in the year.

Actually getting it a whole lot cheaper than that. Getting it new for less than 1/2 of retail. :)

Excellent! Then, if it fits I can think of NO reason not to buy it.

Already test rode the TCR 0 in that size. Fit perfect. Can't wait to have a road bike that actually fits me. My first one was to small and my last one was a little to big.

Well, it's ordered. Now the wait starts. Should be here tomorrow or Wednesday. Hope it makes it by Wednesday at least. Definately going to take some time to get used to riding the double. Wish me luck!

Good stuff. A tall buddy of mine has a Giant (not the TCR, but a compact frame) and likes it plenty. Can't wait for my new ride to get here in a week or so.
