Choices, choices. Giant, Felt, Specialized, or BMC
Currently on m/l giant tcr alliance. Feeling like I need a 58, decided it was him for a change.
Wanted to be on full carbon. But.....BMC looks nice
So:
2005 Felt f3c, mavic, carbon bars, DA, looks new
2009 Giant tcr advanced 3, 105
2011 Felt F5, 105
2011 Felt AR5, 105
2011 Specialized Tarmac, 105
Or, forget about Carbon and get a 2009 BMC Roadracer sl, Rival, the orange throws me off, but it is still damn good looking.
Or, keep what I have until next summer?

BMC and TCR cheapest options. BMC in size L is about the same size as my current bike, so I thought about getting a longer stem, ordering an XL would scare me.

I ride a Giant, so I can guess how the larger TCR will ride.
Going to try and ride the felt and tarmac today but I don't think they have any in a 58, so I can ride a 56 and see how it feels
No way to ride the BMC, or even see one in person, but damn it is good looking.
