It keeps the disc brakes and has the better Shimano 105 group. I've never owned Giant, but they look good to me. Some of the guys I ride with have an older TCR, IIRC. So maybe also consider a used TCR to stay within budget.
Just saw a used TCR Composite near me like this one:
Giant TCR Carbon Road Bike
It has Shimano 105 10-spd stuff with the carbon frame for $1200. So the deals are out there.
I may consider the 1, thanks.
I suppose I'd like to get opinions on if what I'm riding on (greenways), if the AnyRoad would be better suited or just go all-out road bike?
