TCR Advanced 0 (2012)
Postby danny the boy » Thu Mar 29, 2012 10:25 am
I think I've only seen one out on the road so far and the prices keep on falling, so my guess is they are not selling. Some stores prices are pretty comparable to Azzurri. Its not the best looking bike in the world but is there any other reasons why?

I would have bought one, but the colour scheme is just horrible

How/where did you get it at that price? I was led to believe there was a Giant Dealer discount promotion coming soon but not that low!danny the boy wrote:Ended up getting one. For $2800, it was tough to turn down at that price.

My sentiments exactly... I was never a fan of green, but I find that the colour scheme of the $100 note looks good with anything I wear...Sven Nijs wrote:I could probably live with the horrible paint scheme at that price.

There was a factory backed deal before Easter on most Giant bikes which got me interested but the best price in Melb. then was around $3200. The LBS down the road from me then dropped it to $3k the week before Easter so out of curiousity I was flicking through BikeExchange and came across Lawrencia Cycles in Hawthorn had them advertised at $2800. The owner sold me it so quizzed him what was with the price but it wasnt until after I paid up he told me it was only in response to the other stores price. With the amount of stores now selling Giant bikes its probably worth people printing out the cheapest ad they can find and asking for a price match or better.

I suspect that will exclude bikes.SHOW YOUR RACV OR BV CARD AND GET 10% OFF ALL PRODUCTS & ACCESSORIES
Cheapest I could find was that one Nunawading too. $2,999 is pretty good but $2,800 is obviously better but sadly I can't find anything near those prices in NSW. Lot's of them now doing the dealer discount price of $3,300 but I think $2,999 (or less) could make me break out the credit card....

ONline they had the bike listed at this price then in store it was 3300, but they did it for 2700
very very good value i reckon considering retail was 4000

I presume they have to be making some level of profit from the sale unless they were bikes they'd ordered in for floor stock based on the pre-release hype then got stuck with them once potential buyers saw the paint job?

i think my mate was pretty lucky to still get his for that price
giant really went out trying to drive a massive wedge between the tcr and tcr sl range with the paint I reckon
the sl's look unreal but as for the tcr's i think its very bland

Definitely was! The cheap ads have gone and cheapest I can now find on BE is $3K for specific sizes (likely floor stock).whenin_rome wrote:drive down to vic and ride it back

I think they just plain got it wrong with the silver/blue paint (unintentionally) and it killed their sales stone dead.giant really went out trying to drive a massive wedge between the tcr and tcr sl range with the paint I reckon

The SL 0 is gorgeous but sadly I wouldn't ever get that one passed by the minister of finance (even despite her agreeing it's hot)...

Hmmm, I couldn't find sub-$3k but you may be able to haggle close to it with dealers who have stock. If you're near Northern Sydney, I know that Hornsby Cycles had at least a couple in stock (M & M/L I think) as I was going to get my Small from them but I cancelled it before it came in. Worth a visit/call if that's your size I suppose?sparkyscott wrote:If anyone is able to achieve sub $3K pricing in Sydney, please feel free to post (brag) about it...
Visited MC Cyclery and they seem to be sticking to the Factory Backed price, which is fair enough. I hadn't realised there were 3 bike shops in Clarence St now!

I dont think this is available in Aus or if its going to be, but it makes the TCR look pretty good in comparison.
