Long story, but I've had a new 09 Giant TCR Advanced SL on order for a while now, but it seems that they're going to be taking a while to deliver- another 14 weeks- meaning I'll miss most of the summer riding on a new bike. I'm getting to the stage where I need to make a decision (and to sell my current bike before it's obsolete).
The other bike on the top of my mind is a Cervelo SLC-SL (an 08 model as the 09's are too pricey), which means I miss out on the 7900 Daaaris. I really like the Cervelo frameset, its definitely more appealing than the Advanced SL, but the new Daaaris is pretty rad (having ridden it on the lower model Giant bike (the Advanced)). I know that I can 'upgrade' to 7900 next year, which would give me a sweet frame and a good groupset, albeit slowly.
What would you guys do in this position?
Other bike options from work would be a Pinarello (not overly keen on them) or a Cannondale (I'm upgrading from a System Six, and I find the Super Six too soft and the new 'Six' looks much the same)...
