Hi folks...

this is not a question of any sort.... just took delivery of my new bike a few days ago and wanted to share the love [:D]

it began as:

got a new-old giant tcr composite 2 from dever cycles (thanks to a tip from here) so its been built up with some am-classic wheels, a centaur groupset with chours compact chainset, finished off with some easton kit and it is quite literally the best thing in the world. [:p]

I am a most happy person this evening!!

  • They are still one of THE best lookers IMHO. Especially the yellow themed ones (mine even had yellow carbon bars!):

  • True! Sort of *joke*. Could only afford it (indeed could only ride it) cos I stopped drinking. Equivalent to about 3-4 months of gin and brandy.
