This is my 2010 Giant TCR Advanced 3.

It's currently near stock, I fitted a pair of Shimano Dura Ace 7900 C24 wheels a week or so ago, along with a pair of Continental GP4000s tyres. Rides so well, love it!

Fizik Microtex white bar tape is going onto it next Saturday, and I will buying a SRAM Force Groupset for it later in the month. Will keep you all posted!

    I really want one of these. Looks ace. They look great with gum-wall tyres too IMO if you are that way inclined.

    Always had a thing for Giants and yours looks great!

    I rock the RaboBank bottles on my giant too: http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6227/7024632353_188587606b_n.jpg -> they work well... although i'm hoping the 2012 rabobank edition of the TCR SL will magically appear on my doorstep -> and then they will match perfectly!

    It's not very good tape, kind of foamy and is filthy when my hands get sweaty.

    Fair enough. Looks good in blue though and white seems to get dirty just by looking at it :cry:

    Looks nice mate.

    Got those wheels and tyres a few weeks back to go on my new TCR advanced (When it eventually turns up.. ordered it 3 months back!).
