So I was originally set on getting a 2009 Giant TCR Advanced frameset and building it up myself but no one in new york city has it yet and I don't think I'll get a very good price on it. Now my buddy that owns a bike shop (not a giant dealer) tells me his distributor can get him 08 Cinelli frames for a great price. He can get me the Cinelli Machine for cheaper than the Giant most likely.
So here's my dilemma. I like the Giant since it's a new model and I think it'll perform great. But the Cinelli should be just as nice for cheaper. Also there are less Cinelli bikes here than Giants, but I don't really see that many Giants anyways. Geometry wise both will have models to fit me. Look wise I prefer the TCR over the Machine.
What are your opinions? Does anyone have experience with Cinellis?
