Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Face it, we all want a Cervelo.

Funny to see the following of bike brands. I swear 90% of the cervelo riders were riding OCLV carbons when Lance was winning the TdF... If only Tmobile could have starting winning tours, those same cervelo riders would be on giants....

Oh you can earn it. I did for mine. It's a Giant, which is better than a Cervelo anyway.

Oh boy my 3000th post.

Well it could be interpreted that you meant they're no TCR because Cervelos are superior to a TCR - which would of course been be wrong.

Everyone in the pro peleton knows Giants are superior in every way to a Cervelo because the Advanced SL is the best bike in the pro Peleton.
Well maybe a Tarmac SL3 is close.
But those guys on the Cervelo Test Team all wish they were riding Giants. I know it's true because I read it on the internet.

And be happy with your Giant.
Unless it's not a TCR Advanced SL.
Crap, aren't you like 16..... you're not allowed to own a Cervelo until you hit your mid life crisis. That's still another 30 years away for you.

No, I sincerly think TCRs, and Giants in general, are better.

I haven't gotten to play with an advanced SL since we don't stock them, but hopefully will for a special order. I own an advanced myself.

Yes, I am 16, and no, its a Defy Advanced. With upgraded 7800 crank

It's still awesome.
