All-change for new flagship road group, but what about discs? This article originally appeared on BikeRadar

Following up on our recent exposé on the upcoming 2013 Shimano Dura-Ace mechanical and Di2 groups comes some new insider information on what SRAM apparently has planned for the next generation of its flagship Red group. Even if just a portion of this information is correct, it seems that MY2013 is rapidly heating up for high-end road customers.

According to Cyclingnews’ exclusive sources, SRAM’s next-gen Red group will stick with its current 10-speed configuration but that’s about the only thing that’s unchanged.

First and foremost is a new DoubleTap lever body shape, which will supposedly sprout a more pronounced knob up front to provide a more secure handhold – similar to what Campagnolo does with its Ergopower levers based on what we’ve been told – along with customizable gel padding beneath the hoods that will allow riders to tune the feel of their controls.

Now thats a load.

Two Giant bicycles are featured in the October 2010 issue of Bicycling magazine.  The Giant TCX 0 is reviewed on page 69, and, since ‘cross season is starting soon, it might be a good idea to get a copy of this magazine and check out the full review by Bicycling’s “Fit Chick” contributor and test editor, Selene Yeager. 

Here are some highlights of her review: “We put this bike to the test in every muddy mixture imaginable, from the highly adherent peanut-butter variety to muck more like Crisco.  The Giant stood up admirably to even the worst of cross conditions thanks to its smart spec.” 

She goes on to say: “The snappy, light aluminum frame punched quickly out of turns and got up to speed superfast on long straight-aways.  Handling is primarily stable—the geometry is less about snap than about holding a line at all times, even on slick, zigzagging descents, which makes the TCX 0 a pleasure to race in even the most unpleasant circumstances.” 

In the same issue, the Giant for Women Avail Advanced 2 is spotlighted in the magazine’s popular “What Bike Should I Buy” feature on page 82.  A reader from Denver, named Maureen, writes Bicycling asking for help finding a bike that fits both her charity-ride schedule and her $2000 dollar budget. 

Bicycling editor Christine Bucher picks the Giant for Women Avail Advanced 2.   Part of her praise for the bike reads this way: “The frame is built for women: The sloped top tube not only reduces standover height, but it also lightens the bike and adds stiffness to help Maureen make the most of her power.”  The feature also notes the distinctive design, color, and graphics of the bike, saying: “A teardrop-shaped seat tube with a cutout for the rear wheel, an aero seatpost and subtle graphics make the Avail Advanced stand out on any group ride.”
