javadude Posted March 19, 2009 Share You are not camparing apples with apples. The TCR is more like the Tarmac and the Roubaix is more like the Defy. TCR/Tarmac have more race like geometry and the Roubaix/Defy are more relaxed for old guys like me with bad backs and poor flexibility. So first decide what kind of ride you require and then make your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted March 19, 2009 Share Go with your gut' date=' pocket and eye. Never and easy choice but either way you'll be happy in the end and should have endless miles of enjoyment. Good luck [/quote'] in that case, the spesh wins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith Posted March 19, 2009 Share Price wise how are? I know the Giant sits at approx R25K, because I was looking at it myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javadude Posted March 19, 2009 Share If you go for the Roubaix and if you did the Argus, don't forget to apply for your 15% discount and make sure you purchase before March 31st: http://www.specialized-sa.co.za/contentarticle.php?art=35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted March 19, 2009 Share those pieces of snot they have to build into the Spaz frames puts me off. Look for the one that bot the least amount of carbon weave showing. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wind Posted March 25, 2009 Share Hi Thank you for all the info Have decide to go for the Giant, the price between the bikes is almost the same, so that was not the deciding factor . Most of the bikes I have ridden are Giants and never had a bad experience with them. In terms of specifications they are also very similar. So at the end I like to buy what I know and ( not saying any thing against Specialized ) and will buy the Giant. Wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
