deciding on a road bike
im thinking about either getting a giant tcr a1 or specialized tarmac elite / elite compact, but i do not know what would be the better buy. i know that the breaks on the tcr a1 are tiagra, but everything else is shimano 105 or equiv to that level of ccomponents... and the tramac elite is all 105 components and whole carbon frame. so in the end is it worth the extra 450 bonars for the elite?

The elite sounds better to me, based on what you've written. Whichever you get, make sure it fits.

What were your impressions of the bikes that you test rode?
