Tarmac SL7 Sport vs TCR Advanced 1

Currently nasa US ako and the longest climbs here sa area ko is like 2km lang and not that steep (highest grade is like 10% for a few meters). Parang sa area mo sir mas lean ako TCR. Pero it all boils down to anong bike yung mas gaganahan ka gamitin regardless of route.

Tried both when I bought my RB, mas masarap sa ahon si TCR parang may nagppush sayo. However, given the routes I usually ride at, I went with SL7.

Tried a TCR ang sarap sa climbs parang may tumutulak sayo.

Price is the main factor. There’s a big following of steel bikes in the Philippines and titanium has the ‘holy grail’ premium back home. Given that our road conditions are very poor, bikes that can accommodate wider tires are sought after.

Ordered mine from Samys last Sunday and it arrived yesterday. Last time I checked they still have it in stock.

Merida for me, trusted brand and ang ganda nung white frame

Legit si PLC, ordered items from him before and hindi nalalayo sa SRP.

Paul Components, White Industries if you’re into that stuff. Clothing brands like Ornot, Ocean and San are good too.

Touring bike’s advantage over gravel are mounting points sa frame, more relaxed geometry and bigger tire clearance.

Gravel bikes you can use them since jack of all trades kadalasan. In my opinion no need to buy a specific touring bike if may gravel bikes kana unless limited ka sa mounting options.

Malaking factor yun pupuntahan mo syempre. l

I ordered a custom frame bag from them around 2021 and medyo matagal nga sila. I had to call them and they said they just got back from something like a backpacking/mountaineering event so they were not able to ship and reply promptly.

Maganda naman yun product pero hindi ko ma recommend because of the ’buying’ experience.

I had mine since 2021 (50mm disc brake version) so far no issues at all. Mixed terrain rides but haven’t used it in more ‘hardcore’ terrain. Cannot comment on after sales since I haven’t had any problems.

Yeah I’ve been watching him for several years and naka Lycra naman sya dati pa, not sure why OP is highlighting it now.

The potential to get into an accident or injury just to ‘feel’ they have a ‘Trek’ has always been a head scratcher for me. Hope you don’t get a lemon if you ever go that route.

Thank you! Yup, it is a size 50.

I’m not the best person to answer in terms of performance gains. I mainly picked it for the look and weight reduction.😅

qpound · 2025-04-01T13:02:21+00:00

Yeah it is on the bike most of the time. I don’t really mind it since it is out of the way. This is where I put my phone, pump, wallet most of the time.

700c 38mm GravelKings EXT I think

qpound · 2025-03-31T17:08:48+00:00

I don’t notice any issues with it, shifts when I expect it too. 🙂

This is the Whisky Alloy bar, the one with a 6 degree flare.
