The Propel looks like outstanding value to me in that I value the Ultegra Di2 over the Dura-ace mechanical of the TCR, although I've taken neither for a test ride so that's all for nothing until I do. Riding enjoyment is not all about spec and weights, but it's an interest until I'm ready to put down a deposit on something.
The weights both in medium:
TCR Advanced Pro 0: 6.8kg.
Propel Advanced Pro 0: 8.5kg.
Now I'd give the propel a bit more weight because it's "aero" but I've seen numbers bandied around the internet of them weighing around 7kg. Clearly with some different spec components than a stock Advanced Pro 0.
What weights are bicycles.net.au members seeing for their Propels? What modifications have you made to get the weight down if any?
How lacking in "aero" is the new 2016 TCR compared to a Propel and realistically how much difference does it make? I understand I am the least aerodynamic part of my bicycle.
I found this aerodynamic comparison on weight-weenies. In 2014 it didn't look like a significant difference which makes you wonder why people would take the extra weight?
