My new toy - Basic detailing inside.

[TheGLL]

Hi,

Here my new toy, no it's not a car but a road bike that I bought in february and yes the bike got 2 coats of Collinite 845 ! :dblthumb2:

For you guys that might want to know....it's a Giant TCR Advanced 1 2011.
It's a full carbone bike with Shimano Ultegra all around.
Michelin Pro3 light tires and DT Swiss Tricon R1700 wheels.

I love it!! I just need more sun/heat to be able to use it more...

That's a gorgeous bike but don't you want the seat post matched to your leg length?

Let me guess; $7600.00

 

[TheGLL]

^^ Thanks and it does, I'm 6' and 3".

No it's not that expensive; it's a mid-range bike ( for the full carbon bike ). I paid 3400$ ( CAN $ ) + 130$ for the pedals.

The bike's weight is 17.13lbs ... crazy! hehe

WOW, I'm 6' 1" so make it a little shorter huh!!

I was just in the bike shop yesterday and was drooling all over the place at some of the new bikes on display....:drool:

One I was looking at was $9600 and weighed 15 pounds.......I said looking!!

Full Campagnolo Super Record!

I wish I could afford that. Being as you don't have enough heat or sun up there, you can send it to me in Naples for the winters. I will give it a good home! LOL.

Yeah, you can easily spend 8000$ on a bike...it's a crazy world, but so much fun.

Do you have one ?

Campagnolo :xyxthumbs:

That is a good idea, I could rent my bike during the winter season! hehe

I have an older Schwinn Paramount but I'm itching to get a new one. The difference in technology, design, and materials are unbelievable!!

You should!
I also have a Giant Defy 2 2009 and WOW there's a HUGE difference between those 2 bikes!
My new bike is so much quicker on acceleration, my average speed, gear changing, etc...

What, no dressing on the tires?:laughing:

That's a really nice bike. I've got a Giant Mountain Bike that collects a lot of dust but I love riding it when I get the chance.

Great looking bike!! 17 pounds IS crazy . I have an off-road XTC SE1 Giant. Love my bike - Shimano everything and disc brakes. It's right at 21 pounds which is not too bad for a trail bike.

Best,

Jose
