I’ve inherited this Giant TCR Advanced 2 pre 2010, however it doesn’t have a seat post. For the life of me, i can’t find one that is for this bike, does anyone know?

Trawling the net I think I've established that the seatpost would be a proprietary one as it appears to be an aero (elongated) design. Further research suggests that it was described as a Giant Vector Composite seatpost.

The following link takes you to a Giant spares website that appears to have the required item in stock (for pre-2016 Giant TCR frames)
https://www.giantbikespares.com/Giant-TCR-Pre-2016--Carbon-Vector-Seatpost--17212GEM301A3/product_detail/3-45035
Not cheap at £129.
Might be worth calling the suppier to confirm that they have one available and that it will fit your frame1 -
Ahh, the love we show for proprietory fit. You would think someone might make an adapter for this.0

Thanks for the info and the link. I can't believe the price of something which is essentially just a seat post. It's annoying how no one has made a non OEM part / an adapter to use.
Think I'll have to splash the cash now anyway.
Thanks again
