Got hold of a second hand Giant TCR composite frame (2006) that I'm going to build up on the cheap. Does anyone know what the torque settings would be on this frame? Tried searching the GIANT website/google but cant seem to find anything.

I'll be getting the crank/BBfitted by my LBS but the rest will be done by myself so ideally don't want to crack stuff.

Thanks for any help.

    torque settings generally apply to the components rather than the frame, alot of components will have recommended/ max torque settings stamped on them (or in the manuals if you are buying new)
    check components manufacturers web site for anything which you cannot find.
    if you are still stuck for answers, tell us the components you are using and i can tell you the recommended torque - i have extensive charts of all the major components torque settings.
    word of warning, inspect second hand carbon frames/ forks well, crash damage are often hard to detect and signs of damage are not as obvious than other materials (x ray/mri is often the only methods to be 100% sure)
