Maybe this has been posted before. It would be interesting to know what everyone rides.

Giant TCR1 frame with 10s Record '04 Ergo Levers, rear derailleur, front mech, Record 2000 chainset (crank), Record '01 dual-pivot brake calipers, DT Hugi hubs w/ 13-26 Record full titan cassette, Spinergy Titanium Skewers, Mavic CXP33 anthracite rims 32H, Vittoria Rubino Pro all black tires, Oktavia Gel Saddle, Giant Carbon Aero Seat Pin, SPD-R Pedals, Ritchey WCS 4-bolt ahead stem, ITM Anatomic Handlebars, Giant Carbon Forks. All replaceable bolts replaced with SRP titanium.

I have a set of never-been-used C-Record Delta '99 brakes but the Giant compact frame just does not have enough clearance for the rear brake... shame coz deltas get lots of attention.
 
i guess ill keep this thread going...

2002 Giant TCR2 (yellow frame was broken by previous owner, replaced with the silver/blue TCR one frame, though just says TCR on it...) has Shimano 105 breaks, cranks, and hubs on my training wheels (mavic cheap ones).... giant stem and seatpost (CF) Shimano Ultegra BB and cassette, Dura Ace STI's and derailers, ritchey handlebars, giant ocr saddle, and mavic ksyrium elites for racing wheels, speedplay pedals, and a cateye astrail 8 (or however its spelled) computer... i think thats it.

I put together a 2003 Giant TCR (yes, another one) Al frame with: Ultegra cranks, RD, cassette (12-25), BB, STI; DA FD; 105 brakes; Look Pedals; Ritchey Biomax handlebars; Reynolds Ouzo Pro fork; Sigma computer; and DA hubs laced with 28 spokes to OP rims, 3x 14-15 spokes on the rear, 2x 14-17 in front.

Combination of new and used parts purchased anywhere I could get them cheap and built up over a couple of weekends in my kitchen. Pretty light and lots of fun to ride!
