Best praise vs top criticism for Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1

Best Praise

+10 pts

“That generation of di2 is dead and buried, any issues with it you’re in for new shift components, which will be hard now disc has taken over. Tcr, just because I prefer that generation of sram. As an aside, that period was when a lot of pinarello frames were counterfeit.”

“I'm super embarrassed by that, trust! It's been a struggle to feel comfortable riding my TCR for the last 4-5 years. My feet get numb, calves cramp, hands hurt, back hurt, etc. 🤣🤣. I'm quite confident it's mostly a fitment/stretching matter. Worst case, I'll get rid of the TCR and buy an endurance bike instead.”

Best Praise

+22 pts

“If this is your first bike, then go with the Allez, that way you have a local shop to support you, make sure that you buy the right size, do at least a preliminary bike fit and support you with any issues. I would not recommend anyone buying their first proper bike to go the "bike in a box" route, despite how tempting the savings are.”

Top Criticism

“It’s reasonable because these bikes sell for more than they’re worth. Realistically this is a 500.00 bike, but there no such thing as a 500.00 disc brake Allez or CAAD anymore”
