Here is my 2008 TCR Alliance Zero:
Bikeradar did their own review of the previous year's model
FRAME - Alliance Composite T700/ALUXX, Compact Road Design
FORK - T700 carbon composite, aluminium steerer
HANDLEBAR - RaceFace Cadence Road Anatomic
STEM - RaceFace Cadence Road ahead
SEAT POST - GIANT C5 carbon composite
SADDLE - Fizi:k Pave CX Sport
SHIFTERS - SRAM Rival 20 speed
FRONT MECH - SRAM Rival
REAR MECH - SRAM Rival
BRAKES - SRAM Rival
CASSETTE - SRAM OG1070 12-25
CHAIN - SRAM PC1050
CRANKS - SRAM Rival 2.2 39/53
BB - SRAM Rival GXP
WHEEL SET - Mavic Aksium
TYRES - Michelin Lithion 700x23mm
And my mile munching SCR2, from the same year:
I've added the following parts to the SCR:
Shimano WH-R550 (105) Wheelset
Michelin Lithion Tyres
PBK Carbon Fibre Seat Post
Milram SPD-SL R540 Pedals
Zéfal Bottle Cages
RaceFace Cadence Handlebars
BBB Roadforce II 70mm Stem
Shimano 105 Rear Derailleur
FSA Gossamer Triple Chainset
I also got around to cutting the steerer tube, so the bars are a bit lower now.
Cheers

I do like orange bikes, I must admit. Those shifters look a bit low though....0

For some reason, that's how they came; but I've moved them up a bit, and it feels a lot better.
Does anyone know where I can pick up a cheap Euskaltel Euskadi kit to match the bike? 8)Giant TCR Advanced II - Reviewed on my homepage

Try Prendas.
Also a fan of orange on bikes. I nearly a bought an orange BMC before opting for the Izoard.
Next time you need new tyres...

You'll need a sticker kit, too. They ride Orbea's...Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!0 -
Those orange Michelins look awesome. I'll need to get some when the Lithions wear out 8)You'll need a sticker kit, too. They ride Orbea's...
Fair point. I'll stick with my Rabobank kit then
