I'm considering placing a bid on a 2004 Giant TCR Compact Road (8.2KG
sans pedals, alloy frame, carbon fork, Ultegra gear system). This model
has been discontinued.
When comparing specifications with the 2007 Giant range the Giant TCR 1
seems to be the modern equivalent spec wise.

As far as I've been able to find out from Googling (not many references
to the TCR Compact Road) it was an expensive bike in it's day (>£2000?).
The TCR 1 seems to have dropped a lot in price, RRP for the 2006 model
was £1500 http://www.cycle-paths.co.uk/products.php?plid=m1b56s6p1234
(incorrectly labeled as a 2007 model, its actually a 2006), the RRP for
the 2007 model is £899 (lowest price I've found is £810, see above
luvbikes.com link).
Before placing a bid I'd like to know if I am right in comparing the
2004 TCR Compact Road to the 2007 TCR 1?
The bike I'm looking at appears to be in fine shape, the asking price
is £510 which seems about right to me when compared to what it cost new,
however if I compare it to the price of the 2007 TCR1 it seems too
expensive to me.
Opinions?
