For that price, you can also get a Roubaix, Synapse Carbon or a Defy Advanced. I would test ride a few more bikes before plunking $2K.

If you have 2k to spend test out as many bikes as possible. The LBS will have no problem letting you try some out when they see your a serious buyer with serious cash.

That TCR Advanced would be an awesome bike. I have been very happy with mine over the past year. Like the others have said, throw your leg over it and make sure it is the bike for you first.
