Hi guys, can help identify this Giant TCR? I'd like to know the exact model and year if possible.

Thanks!

    Yep, as above. I used to have the black version which was a very nice bike. Wonder what happened to the forks though?

    Thanks for the replies, the useful ones at least :)

    I'm assuming the fork was changed for a carbon one? Don't know, can't tell from the pic. It's a bike I'm thinking of buying as my first road bike opposed to getting a 2013 trek 1.1 for the same price, £300.

    Are you asking what the bike is worth? Those threads are against the rules on here and the Moderator (Smidsy) will be along soon to ban you.

    I'd offer £100 for the Giant. You could probably find better in a skip.

    Didn't realise asking what a bike is worth is against the rules but either way I wasn't. I was just thinking out loud. Knowing the exact model and age will help me decide what it's worth.
