2016 Giant TCR

Hey guys,

I just recently ordered a 2016 Giant TCR SL and I am very enthusiastic about it. It looks very very sexy (lime green color) and since I already own a previous gen TCR I am sure that this new one will ride like a dream.

I haven't seen any posts around here commenting on the new released model. Is anybody in this forum looking forward to seeing, riding, owning one? I'd like to know your impressions so far. It seems to be a promising bike. They assure it has the highest stiffness to weight ratio on the market. I expect mine to be around 14 pounds finished since I am upgrading pedals from the build and this frame is supposed to be almost 200grams lighter. My previous build was 15.4 pounds. The setup is the following.

* Giant TCR SL frameset
* Shimano Dura Ace 9000 groupset
* Shimano Dura Ace pedals
* ENVE 3.4 Smart SES with Powertap G3 wheelset
* Continental GP4000 IIS tires
* Specialized Toupe PRO saddle
* Giant Contact SL Sprinter Stem Carbon
* Giant Contact SL Handlebar Carbon
* K edge GPS holder

Cheers,
Luis
