This near new 2006 Giant TCR C3 blue and black frameset is a compact 50cm
frameset sized M (medium). It has an effective top tube length of 55.5, which
makes it the equivalent of a 54-56cm standard size road bike. This Giant TCR C3
frameset has a full-carbon frame, carbon fiber fork with alloy steerer, headset,
and carbon fiber seat post.



For a picture of this frameset (digital camera broke and should have a new one
this week), as well as full details on the geometry of this size Medium
frameset, go to:

Giant is one of the leading manufacturers of carbon fiber bicycles, as well as
one of the leading innovators in that field. For more information on their
carbon fiber frame technology, see:

I bought this Giant frameset as part of a complete bike at the end of July this
year and have ridden this frameset as a built up bike four times for a total of
100 miles. This frameset is so much lighter than my older steel bike frames, yet
it has no flex when sprinting or climbing, is rock-steady descending hills, and
is a very comfortable ride. I am really impressed with how well Giant has tuned
the ride on these bikes.



As I mentioned, I have ridden this frameset exactly 100 miles. I only used the
carbon fiber seatpost one time because I switched to my old familiar Specialized
saddle that was mounted on a Thomson seatpost after only one ride. I have added
a pair of matching silver water bottle cages. I am offering this near-new 2006
Giant frame, fork, headset, seatpost, and water bottle cages for $575 picked-up
in McAlester.



Thanks,



Frank
