Choice between these two
After my first question i was looking for a GIANT TCR ADVANCED SL that i found with ultegra DI2 10speed for approx 2500 euros.
But yesterday my favorite bike shops proposed a fantastic BMC GRANFONDO 01 full ultegra 6800 11 speed at the same price but brand new. I know that these are two different kind of bikes , what should i prefer in your guys opinion ? Thanks |
BMC Gran fondo... The new 6800 I think is better than the old Di2. It is also new. The TCR is one heck of a bike (I own one) but going used carbon is a little tricky and that is a lot of money for a bike. Also, with the BMC I'd think you have better dealer support since it is new.

I see that picture and it confirms, GF01. It's ok if it's a 13. I dont think the model has changed for 2014. Even if it is a 2013 you should get your dealer support in terms of lifetime adjustments, maybe some discounts in some gear and you can probably budge a pro fit in there as well. Go get it man. That's a sweet bike.

Di2 is soooooooo much nicer. Can't really compare 2 bikes with mechanical and electric.
|
The BMC for 3 reasons:
1. From you "favorite bike shop" 2. Brand new 3. Ultegra 6800 |
Get the one that fits better. If they both fit you well then get the one that rides better.
I've ridden the GF01 and its a very nice bike. Personally the Team machine SLR01 was a better fit for me so thats what I bought. The giant is also a very nice bike. |
The Giant is a race geo and BMC is endurance geo. Probably should decide which is better suited for you and test ride them both
|
I have a problem with my lower back , it's a disc protrusion so i will choose the bike with an higher head tube .
Consider that BMC it's suitable for long rides should be more comfortable than Giant TCR that is maybe more racing . |
