Looking to get a road bike with Ironman races being canceled indefinitely. I’ve narrowed down my search to a Tarmac SL7 Expert and a 2020 Giant TCR Advanced Pro 1 Disc and my LBS has both in stock. The TCR seems like a better value at $5,400 coming with carbon wheels and a power meter. If I go with the SL7 expert, I’ll add a powermeter for around $350 and then eventually upgrade the wheels, putting me closer to around $6,500 all in. I liked how both bikes road. I’ll be using the bike for off-season ironman training, longer rides, group rides, some climbing.
Where do you guys think the better value is? Still fairly new to cycling so any pros/cons of going in either direction is greatly appreciated!
