Hi Hubbers,

 

Im Looking at upgrading to Carbon and Ultegra. Been looking at the Giant TCR ADV range.

Any better bikes in this range or others to consider? Will try test them out before but narrowing

down my opions.

 

Thanks

Or his Cannodale Supersix if you need to get something bigger:

It looks like he's selling them through Bell's Cycling, so you can even pay by credit card:

Almost but not quite ... Katusha rode the Izalco Team Katusha in 2011.

If you want to look at something a bit more unique I've just brought in a Moser for myself and they've offered me distribution in SA. I can land you a 2012 Moser 333 full carbon (T700 Toray 3K carbon monocoque) with full Ultegra 6700, Fulcrum R3 wheels. BB30, FSA stem, handlebars, stem, seatpost etc. I can do it at your price, might even be slightly less depending on exchange rates. A 111 would be slightly less even. Bike is also available with Campagnolo or SRAM Red. Anyway let me know if you're interested else good luck with your upgrade.

Thanks for all the replies! Gawenators Focus Izalco looks amazing but im CPT based and would need to test it out. Also worried about buying used bikes with warranty etc. Didn't look into Scott's but will do so now! Any reviews on the Giant?

Gawie's a reliable gentleman and he's selling it through/on behalf of a reputable cycling shop. Maybe give him or Bell's Cycles a call to see what kind of warranty or ship they can organise for you.

Is that not the same frame, with different builds?

 

 

Katusha will be on Canyon bikes in 2012

 

I only saw this after I posted.Sorry, my bad

 

But anyway ... still a nice bike! :thumbup:

try something different i got a new BH RC1 my size 57 with Ultegra and ritchey protocol wheels is sitting at 7.6 KG and can easily be dropped

 

this bike is made for pure handling ( try chappies ) and really climbs well

 

Bought the frame from complete cyclist for R13 000 its a real beauty did the Burger on it and was really comfortable

 

the upgrade is the G5 but is almost double the price

 

send me your email and I'll send a pic or two

 

Did look at the GIANT but they are in between models at the moment but very similar with that rear wheel cut out on the down tube

 

BH nice big section around BB can be BB30 or normal the BH looks more beefy around the bottom end super looking bike in B&W
