    Got a Giant TCX2 last summer to use as a touring bike. Couldn’t bear the thought of a Doors!!! Choose it cause of the rack mounts and road type handling. Carried full set of panniers all over France before I went to the Semaine Federal. (a huge annual cycling festival) When I was there I stripped the the racks of and ripped it up in bunches of up to 10000 (yes 10000) around Verdun. Some of the most enjoyable riding I’ve done for years. I keep a set of 23s as training/commuting wheels and they fit fine. I’ve got a Trek Madone 6.5 but there is no way I will get rid of the TCX. Had several Giants and never a bad one.

    I love mine too. As others have said you need to get used to needing longer to stop.
    I mostly ride mine on local rooty singletrack and while it’s far more challenging without suspension, it’s far more engaging IMO and has really benefited my riding generally.
