Hi There,
I am shopping for my first road bike and I have narrowed it down to the Cannondale CAAD10 105 and the Giant TCR 1 - Both are Aluminium frames and both have the same price range.
Currently i have a Marin Bobcat Trail with semi slicks and I commute 28k a day almost every day. Right now I'm not riding due to snow here in Toronto, but as soon as the weather starts to clean up I'm picking up a new road bike and I would love to hear what you guys with experience think of these two bikes.
I noticed almost everything is Shimano 105 on both bikes, but the Brakes are "Tektro", are they any good? Should it be upgraded for a 105 brake, or it doesn't matter?
It would be great to know what you guys think of either one, cons and pros.
