*SOLD* Giant TCR - Early model

Early example of a Giant TCR. Always wanted one of these due to Mike Burrows heavy involvement of their development, as far as I know the Giant TCR is the bike that introduced compact frame geometry. I believe that Mike also developed the adjustable stem, aero carbon seatpost and aero wheels with carbon hubs and carbon core aero spokes. As far as modern bike design goes it was quite radical in my opinion.

Anyway this is a very nice purple anodised version (Triathlon) which is in very good condition with only a few blemishes in the anodising letting the side down (looks worse in the pictures than in reality).

Groupset is complete Shimano Ultegra 6500 9 speed.

Lovely bike aleady a modern classic.

£500 + postage or collection from Kent ME12.

Bump for flawless execution of rule #40

http://www.velominati.com/blog/the-rules/

and total ignorance of rule 26!

nice (for a alu bike)

#40 of course. Doesn't everyone do it that way?

#26 - no valves at 12 o'clock. Cranks horizontal so that the Shimano text is correct

It's a lovely bike. Similar one went for nearly £700 on eBay recently...

No one???

Stunning bike, similar one sold on eBay for almost £700 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Giant-TCR1-Ro ... 2315a841eb

Otherwise it's into storage and back up for sale in the spring....

I don't understand this...that is an absolute steal! We have had the warmest autumn on record, (apart from this morning, jeez my fingertips are still tingling), is this the Downturn (tm) in action?

The design blueprint for most modern road bikes made today. This is a modern classic Hope it sells soon.

I've just passed mine onto my daughter's partner to use - he loves it!

Same size as this one but I feel that it's just a tad to small for me but a great bike to ride.
