Hi,
Have narrowed down to either the Giant TCR Composite 1 or the Specialized Tarmac Elite Apex
Giant: http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-AU/bikes/model/tcr.composite/7266/44165/
Specialized: http://www.specialized.com/au/gb/bc/SBCProduct.jsp?spid=52903&scid=1001&scname=Road
Every bike shop seems to have another brand of bike to show but I reckon one of these will be a good thing.
The Giant has a mix of 105 and Ultegra and the Specialized has Sram. Both very similar price but will have to wait to until early March to even see the Specialized in the flesh. Have jumped on a similar Specialized to see how it feels and it was fine and have ridden the Giant and it was good too. So there isn't much to differentiate between the two when it come to feel when sitting on it.
Any good or bad things to say about either of these two bikes will be gratefully accepted.
Will be doing weekend rides and olympic sized triathlon rides (around 40km distance) throughout the year.
Thanks
Nathan
