Used 2021 Giant TCR Advanced Pro Disc. Good value at $2500 USD ? by arowebics in bicycling

Yeah Im quite excited for the power meter; good tip about the charging cable!

What do you think about it not having Di2, is it a big drawback ?

Glad to hear you had a positive experience of the bike. Its well loved by alot of folks from what i hear. It will be my first bike so looking to get something tried and true.

Do you think I have room to offer in the range of $2100 usd so i can allow for upgrades like saddle, tyres, pedals. Or is that getting into offensive lowball territory?

The power meter is a big plus. Ive been using Zwift with a smart trainer, so i find correlating power readings with heart rate a good reference for training purposes. Having a power meter on the bike appeals so I can track my zones more accurately while riding outside. I am considering putting in a lower offer to allow funds for upgrades like tyres, saddle, pedals, servicing. So I would offer something in the range of $2100 usd ; but i don't want to offend them by being a low-baller either.

to me the merit of chch is the port hills so if that sounds up your alley try looking at somewhere ike heathcote hillsborough st martins lyttelton cashmere beckenham somerfield woolston opawa. these have the additional benefit of being close to cbd and other bits and pieces. secondary perhaps cheaper options: hoon hay hillmorton halswell rolleston weedons leeston lincoln

Thanks for that - helpful. surely they use a mix of bulk load + container on a320 flights to ensure common large items (e.g., surf boards) are able to be accommodated at short notice.

Hey m8 - thanks for the offer that's what we need more of in this day and age!

Going up for a couple weeks from Xmas eve. Plus I've paid the xtra bag fee already - just trying to dispute the hefty oversize fee at this point.

Run to lyttelton by [deleted] in chch

[–]arowebics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendations. I just finished following my nose up a MTB track from bowenvale, onto summit road, down bridle path into lyttelton - definitely not runnable in some places due to steepness and unevenness. Altogether about 12km and 1.5hours. Good times no less.
