After weeks of deliberation, I finally pulled the trigger on a 2020 TCR advanced pro 0 with sram force. I switched over from a 2021 Trek Emonda and man the TCR rips. It’s aggressive, responsive, and super quick. It’s been such a fun bike on the first two rides. I found the 2020 on marketplace for $2300 and it was practically brand new. The owner closed down his giant dealer during Covid and stopped riding to get into body building. According to his strava, where he logged every ride with each specific bike, he only put 300 miles on the TCR. The bike is almost spotless. It had sat so long that it had no grease on the chain. Hopefully I didn’t overpay, but overall I am extremely happy with the bike and happy to join the giant club!

Hi- I am looking to upgrade my current SL5 Elmonda to a different more aggressive bike. I recently rode my buddy’s 2021 Canyon Ultimate CF SLX and loved the light, aggressive, quick ride. So, I stumbled upon this Giant TCR. It’s from 2020 but the guy is saying it was basically old stock and only has about 300 miles on it as he stoped riding. It has stock giant SLR 42 wheels but upgraded Stam Force groupset. It’s listed for $2500 but hoping to get it around $2000 if it’s a good deal. Chat GPT is telling me this is the move lol curious what you guys think!

I am looking at two different R5s but I am unsure of the year. Both bikes appear to have the straight logo on the head tube rather than the traditional Cervélo “C” logo on the head tube which is what I find on the newer R5s when looking online. I am having a hard time finding the year for both of these. Any help would be appreciated.
