Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

GIANT TCR ADVANCED SL 3 for $3200, seems like an awesome deal no? The only thing bugging me is that it's not a popular bike, can't find discussions and reviews about it.

Who cares what anyone else thinks, if you like it and it rides good and you can afford it and you need it and your wife is okay with it then get it.

regarding the youtube video, most that I found searching is exactly what you found, the non sl version fitted with 105 wich does make for a whole different bike (different carbon and different group) and indeed it looks mean.
