TCR advanced sl rabobank 2012 ? Good buy?
Postby MDL » Sat Sep 08, 2012 3:01 pm
Was lookin at a supersix evo with red. But crappy wheels. Atleast this way I can get everything in one.
My biggest concern is the intergrated seat post.
Anyone have any feed back?
Thanks
Matthew

- Good Frame
- Dur-Ace full group set
- Good wheels.
What the thoughts on the intergrated seat post?

ratter wrote:hopefully you get good reviews as I just purchased the same but as a frame set, the isp should have 2 different mast caps and they are different heights, there should also be some shims to allow some seat adjustment
Thanks for that Ratter, had any problems? I can't see any downside to the purchase or other option?

Super light, super stiff.
Mine has C50's instead of the Giant P-SLR-01's. Rumour has it they had some issues with those wheels and Giant was replacing them with C50's. Not 100% though. My C50's are off a Rabobank bike. Love the blue C50 logo.

Yeah the Blue C50 does help, got a set of the Blue Pro 4 tyers on there now too.
