I brought a Trek bike. Cheap and thought only for riding fun, but later obsess with it.. Keeps upgrading.

yes..make sure you decide first which one fall in your catagories....fun,leisure or stamina,serious cycling

Indeed! I was using these Cannondale until now.Very enjoyable ride.No lose of balance.Perfect and good ride experience and so on!




But as for the price to get the Cannondale with Lefty, it would cost you from 7k till RM 40k(Factory Racing)

RM 7k=F3 ,RM 8.5k=F2 RM 9k=F1

Got this email from Giant Malaysia. Asking for TCR SL 2012 but they give info on 2011 TCR SL instead. Malaysia TCR SL 2011 is exactly same as Taiwan TCR CL 2011. Price before discount.

http://www.giant-bicycles.com/zh-tw/bikes/...l.2/7767/45077/

- TCR SL 1: RM7,000 - Shimano Ultegra 7.6KG
- TCR SL 2: RM6,000 - SRAM Rival 7.8KG
- TCR SL 3: RM5,300 - Shimano 105 7.8KG

SL1

SL2

SL3

actually it's a good deal for SL 1.Are you considering it?

Yes seems that SL1 is a better deal (see the price difference below)

Actually I am more interested on the 2012 models, because 2012 got
1. new frame design
2. upgraded fork (composite ->advanced)
3. overdrive steerer -> OverDrive 2 Steerer (up to 40 percent stiffer than the existing OverDrive with no weight penalty )
4. Seat Post (Giant Carbon -> GIANT ADVANCED Aero)


Anyhow some info on what I have found out about 2011 Taiwan TCR SL, compared to Malaysia TCR SL 2011:

2011 TCR SL1 Ultegra 7.6KG RM7000 (TWD59800 RM6179) Diff = RM821 @ 12%
2011 TCR SL2 Rival 7.8KG RM6000 (TWD49800 RM5146) Diff = RM854 @ 14%
2011 TCR SL3 105 7.8KG RM5300 (TWD39800 RM4112) Diff = RM1178 @ 22%

2012 TCR SL1 SRAM Force 7.5kg TWD66000 RM6820
2012 TCR SL2 SHIMANO 105 7.9kg TWD46800 RM4836
2012 TCR SL3 SRAM APEX 8.1kg TWD42800 RM4422


Also I got these TCR Composite prices from Taiwan website. Price wise comparable to TCR SL.

2012 TCR COMPOSITE 1 SHIMANO 105 8.0kg TWD42800 RM4422
2012 TCR COMPOSITE 2 SRAM APEX 7.9kg TWD45800 RM4732
2012 TCR COMPOSITE 3 SHIMANO Tiagra 8.7kg TWD38000 RM3926

Compared 2011 to 2012 (take taiwan prices cos I dont have Malaysian 2012 prices yet), prices have generally go up. So should I wait for 2012 version? Any idea how TCR Composite (carbon fibre) compared to TCR SL (Superlite Aluminium)?

i like the colour of the SL3...hehe

Me too. SL3 color damn nice.. But SL1 looks good value.

yea..agree on that..so you gonna buy the SL1?

Can anyone advise me? I brought my bike 5 months ago. Comes with Bontrager LT3. Recently feel my back tyre a bit "slippery". Does this means it's worn out? I pumped full air and still have that "slippery" feeling.

get Maxxis Larsen.Good grip.or Conti fire xc pro

wow! nice analysis bro. but the problem is whether Giant Malaysia Authorised distributor is bringing in the 2012 model and distribute all the bikes to authorised dealers or not?

Good luck on ur hunting...

You mean need to change tyre???

But but but... Only 5 months only...

Ya thats the problem, Giant malaysia always slower than other ppl. I checked with Tay Cycle, Giant Singapore about 2012 release, IIRC they said for 2012 there will be no TCR SL, only TCR Composite.

Giant USA, giant Taiwan, giant Singapore all willing to reveal the MSRP online, only Giant Malaysia not doing so.

If you see Giant malaysia facebook, many ppl interested and asked about Giant bike prices and dealer location. You know what Giant Malaysia did? He ask ppl for their email addresses and send them one by one via email

Even the dealer list after much persuade they said want to put into discussion section but after 1 month still not there.

I am not sure what the reason Giant malaysia dont want to post these basic information online lor. Dealer list and MSRP are not confidential information leh...Not like we are asking for the actual selling/discount price, ppl want to buy also dont want ppl to know

So I would say Giant malaysia is among the worst I have seen.

Here is the facebook page.

If such a case, I can only assume few things.

1. They can't come out the MSRP because they might mont have RSP for consumers. That's why they can't produce it.

2. Some bike shops took the model from them but might change the parts in order to make it more affordable. If consumer brought the cheaper version, first thing they will think is Giant instead of the bike shop. Other than that, Bike shop might tell these consumers that it was Giant Malaysia's direction.

3. It could also be that they unable to get a authorise dealer maybe because Malaysia, bicycle not really as strong as in Taiwan and Singapore.

This is my opinion but not an excuse for Giant.. Sad
