That looks great - nice colours too. Giant sometimes makes some curious colour choices. This one they got right. By the way, I'd recommend against those tyres, in my experience they won't last long. Use them for a track bike instead.
I put some Xentis 2.5 SL wheels on my TCR SL3. I won't say what it weighs now, only that it is adequately light.
The weight saving was even greater than I was expecting. Quite shocked! I haven't ridden it yet so I don't know what it'll feel like. It was already light...

From the Giant wheels that were on it to these ones, it lost a lot of weight.

Did another 120km ride on it this morning. Lovin it so far.
Does seem very brightly coloured compared to most of the road bikes out there but seems to get people talking to me lol. Gets a lot of interest, which I find great as a beginner roadie as it gets conversation started with some much more experienced riders.
Massive difference coming off a 13kg mountain bike. ha ha

'05 TCR Composite 2 (essentially the equivalent of the current Advanced 1) - First year of 6600 10-sp. Ultegra. Only changes from stock are the addition of aerobars, the "long-range" rear bottle rack (I'm not a triathlete, I used to do a lot of solo long-distance stuff), and the 38mm Gravity-Zero carbon clinchers. Doesn't get out as much as it used to, but it's still a bloody nice ride.

That's the green one I have. That's just off the top of Old Razorback Road hill near the tower. I think I picked one of the most windy days to go down there.
Lovely riding down that way, so peaceful.
