A cautionary tale with the TCR and the clearance between the rear tyre and frame - I managed to cycle over some kind of roofing screw on my way back from Eastern Creek Raceway a few weeks ago. It stuck in the tyre and managed to go under the rear brake caliper, which actually helped drive the screw right into the tyre. It then proceeded to scratch the rear of the frame as the head of the screw was just a bit thicker than the gap between the tyre and frame!
I would of been doing 40 km/h at that time so i did 2 or 3 revolutions before I stopped, wondering what the hell was going on!
Nasty scratch on the bike now albeit in a place you can hardy see. I'll have to hit it with fine sand paper and then some Giant blue nail polish - can't wait to drop in to Priceline and ask for that! lol

Nail sitting proud in the tyre and it went under the caliper and into the rear of the frame.
Not too much damage but annoying.
New SL is scratch free as of yesterday, that'll change though.

Finally changed seat/bartape on TCR Adv 0 (2013) to blac/black.
IMO looks a lot better than dirty white! Will try to post a pic when I get home this evening.

I really want to see if I can get one at $3000 if possible. I'd thought of upgrading my existing Trek to Di2, but it's not cost effective. How is the adjustment on the saddle up and down - looks like the tube narrows at one point.

I'll just have my HED 65mm clinchers on the Giant and the Trek can have the alloys. Easy - and no longer swapping brake pads over when changing the wheels.

The Cervelo had some pretty basic wheels on it, so I expect putting my carbon ones on it... Hmm - tough choice.
But the easy choice is to not get a 2013 Trek.
Edit: I'm now the owner of a Giant TCR Advanced SL3. $4500 all up. It's on alloy wheels and is fitted with Ultegra Di2.

My new ride:
[url=hhttp://reheatimages.smugmug.com/photos/i-QMgr7bc/0/X3/i-QMgr7bc-X3.jpg][/url]
Ultegra Di2 on it, frame is TCR Advanced SL3.
Still to do:
- Get my normal front wheel back (it's getting work done on it - nothing major)
- swap some new bidon cages to it (these ones from my other bike)
- Work out how to put a rear light on it for those times I need it
- manage to find time to take it out for a decent ride - I only just got it yesterday. Really itching to ride it quickly.
