1991 Giant Team ONCE TCR build

A

Al1972

Dirt Disciple
This is my first build, originally going to be a winter bike, but when the frame was delivered I decided it was too nice and decided to restore it instead.

I found the original seat post online, and am completing with Campagnolo veloce and over the course of the next few paydays....

Frame: Giant TCR Team ONCE Edition Superlight Alloy
Fork: Full carbon inc. carbon steerer
Headset: Cane Creek ZS
Stem: Giant Contact OS
Bars: Giant Connect
Seatpost: Giant Mike Burrows Aero Carbon
Seatpost Clamp: Giant ONCE
Saddle TBC
Groupset: Campagnolo Veloce
Wheels: TBC (probably Campagnolo Zonda)

Never built before, so any info on the frame / advice much appreciated!

Great looking frame. Can't be as early as '91 though can it? The semi integrated headset must mean nearer the 00's?
 
Re:

Nice :cool:

I had one some time ago, bought new in 2000. I think yours may be a '99 looking at the haed badge.

Used it for time trialling as I preferred the look to the aero frame. BTW, those Burrows seatposts flex like crazy. Didn't notice until a friend watching me on a turbo noticed. I used a USE Alien for mine after that.



After I stopped racing, used it as a road bike, with Ultegra, fantastic!Will look for a picture of it.It was light and stiff.
Hope you like yours, and welcome to the forum ;)

Mike

Re:

Thanks, but it's only around a 53x15 ish by the looks of it. It was the National 25 , so I had to try a little bit.
You'll be forgiven for not noticing the teaspoon :shock:

Re:

Got the shifters and rear derailleur on today. Feeling very pleased with myself as the mech moves when I push the lever!!

Campag feels great, think I'm converted from ultegra....

Just finished after a frustrating wait to pay for all the parts....

This is my first full build and am now hooked. Much more satisfying than anything I've ever bought, and will never buy another bike new.

Let me know what you think, any feedback, good / bad welcome. Interested to know!
