Giant TCR Advanced Pro O discs or Specialized Tarmac Pro

[fanievb]

If only I was still in EL. The best mechanic in EL is at HQ

 

now update your settings to KZN then       

 

ja old garfie is a lekker ou

[Popit]

I have a Tarmac SL6 .......

Certainly a fantastic bike . I wouldn't look elsewhere .

[stringbean]

Hey Warick yea I have but I already have an Aero bike so looking for something more versatile and light

Regardless of what you choose your disc bike with a 100k budget is going to be around 7.5kg

[s14phoenix]

So you own the 2019 verdict?

 

Nope unfortunately not but I have taken a 2018 out for a extended spin along with the 2018 Propel pro disc loved both... but then I am Giant biased.

[Mongoose!]

7.5kg is not bad for aero disk bike with 55mm wheels

 

hopefully one can sit on the toptube ...

That time where you need to upgrade your steed. My current bike since 2015 is a Giant Propel Adv 0 ultegra di2 with some deepsections.

 

Planning to upgrade to either Giant TCR discs or Spez Tarmac Discs

 

Both bikes comes with Ultegra Di2 and Discs

Giant comes with a power metre

Price diff

Giant R77k

Spez R110K

Would love the Sworks but at R180k its just not justifiable in my opinion unless cash is no issue.

Is it worth spending R30K more to ride the big brand Spez or should I go for the cheaper option

Yes taking into account each person will have their opinions etc

Is the dealer throwing in a power meter? the bike has ridesense but that is a speed/cadence sensor.

Specialized is an amazing brand - their new bikes are pieces of art.

 

Are they worth the additional R33k? Probably not. If money was no issue, I would definitely be riding a new Spez.

Really? 

 

If money was no issue I would be looking at a Basso or a De Rossa or a Colnago with campag. Not a dime a dozen Spez.
