this is a dream bike for me..

All the people that i know, that compete, have 2+ bikes, i think this tcr like bmc roadmachine are best 2017 roadbike that can be used on OPEN ROAD, if UCI won't allow disc, all riders can train on a safer bike with disc and racing on a rim brake.
I think that the worst part of cycling is in competition at non pro level, so this bike are really for who enjoy riding without obsession and care to return safe at home before watt and weight. -
BMC road machine 01 or this bike?

orange giants road bike disc !nice

I like the tone of your reviews, concise and to the point, easy to understand. Your accent is easy to understand unlike some British speakers in the movies. I am non-native English speaker and find it hard to understand British accent if the speaker does not sound like BBC news anchors.

Too many black bikes? Racist much? #BlackBikesMatter

"Ability to run low pressures" on a road bike...no

Looks good to my eyes except for the cables/hoses near the bars. Can't they hide hydraulic hoses?
-
Quick question regarding the 140mm rotor sizes, is this big enough? Should Giant have provided the bikes sized L+ with 160mm? With the flat mounts is it possible to re-position the mounts if you are carrying a little bit more weight and live in hilly wet areas?

any chance of a music credit?

I think Giant bikes are a great value. Unfortunately their recent paint schemes don't excite me too much :(
-
any benefit of narrow fork side profile??
-
why does all hydraulic brakes must look robocop like

Can't wait to buy this and use it at my next race... oh wait UCI isn't allowing Discs at the moment, and not outside the World Tour next year.
This bike's purpose it to set the Thru Axel and Disc Calliper standards to Giant's liking, which is a good thing for the customer in the after-market.
Focus's RAT for Thru Axel's is the best option out there. As the other Thru Axels are just screws.
The already setup tubeless tyres are a serious feature. Every CX bike should take notes. -

My only bitch with Giant is the 1.25in steer tube. If you're buying the whole bike and have no desire to upgrade then fine. But with the steer tube at 1.25 you're basically locked into a Giant stem as well. And if anyone knows of a 1.25 carbon steer cap please reply. I gave up looking last year. The cast metal slug is ugly.

These puppies will be back ordered for 7 months just you watch. Went to my LBS to have them order a 2015 TCR at the time, Cannondale got my money that day LOL.
