Giant TCR composite

[Hogan53]

Hello all,
I am new to this forum and just getting into road racing.
At a LBS I ran across a new 2003 Giant TCR composite frame, team ONCE
that is sweet.
Anyone with experience on this frame and thoughts on a fair market price?
Thanks,
KC

What country?

What group set? Dura-Ace?

What Wheels? Mavic Ksyriums?

I know a guy with this bike, and he's quite happy with it, but he's only about 65kg, and he reckons if were a heavy thrasher, it might not be stiff enough in the front end. Don't shoot the messenger

There are plenty of reviews available, and all of them are pretty positive about Giant composite frames. I weigh in at around 85kg, and have never noticed any flex.

Go here: http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech.php?id=tech/2004/reviews/giant_tcr_composite_1 for a review of the Giant TCR Composite (no difference between the 2003 and the 2004 model, other than the decals and a gloss clear coat on 2004 models)

It is only the frame and fork (carbon with carbon steer tube).

You should also check out the user reviews on this forum. I know I posted a review a week or so ago on this bike. Check it out. Its a fun bike. Read my review.

unless you tell us what country you're in, it'll be hard for us to give you a price
