Yes I was talking about the TCR comp not the advanced, looking at the price diff, I dont think I will be going for the advanced. I am really leaning towards the giant tcr 1 composite. A really good bike with good components. And room to upgrade wheels etc

Ultegra better than 105s?

Thank you very much for all the info, this is much appreciated! I have seen some really nice deals on the classifieds here on thehub, however I am one to buy a new ride for myself. Nothing like bringing home the new addition "new bike smell" So I am taking a brief overview that I should look into the giant tcr advanced? With 105s. Good cycling road shoes (pref. Carbon soled) I have a really decent bell helmet which set me back R990? Good enough. Got a pair of rudy sunnies, just need to get photocromatic lenses.

Who sells cannondales in JHB

If not, I will find one!!!

Point taken, thanks a lot sir, learning my way around a bicycle

Scott Foil 20 - full carbon bike - shim components Giant TCR 1 comp - alloy all round -Shim components Cannondale - alloy frame - carbon fork - sram components

Rate it a better buy than the cannondale?

Lovely bike, not too familiar with Sram components? Used to Shimano...

The Scott Foil 20 is a carbon frame with Shim 105s

Was looking into the giant tcr 1 comp, what do you think?

Carbon frame the way to go?

How much would I be looking into for a proper bike fitting?

Scott Foil 20

Looking at the scott website, they offer a few Scott Foils? 10,20,50

How important is a proper bike fitting?

Thanks a lot AfdElite, will look into right now

Good day Hubbers Looking at purchasing a new road bike for myself. I will be honest I am new to the cycling scene and I have been told that I should ask away here on thehubsa for some assistance, as there is no greater opinion than that riders like yourselves. I have given myself a R20k budget for a bike, might be alot for a novice cyclist, but I am one to spend to get a decent product which will last me a few 1000kms. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated, Send me some names of bikes what you would suggest
