Number 20 out of 100. Giant TCR with Record & Bora

[Andrew G]

Very nice but hideously overpriced, it has old equipment on it.

The wheels should be Bora Ultras and the Record should be the new "ultra-torque and skeleton brake" spec to get close to that money.

As ever though, if you can sneak it under your coat....

So it's an old bike with old equipment on it for £6.5k.
I don't know how these people get away with it just because of a limited edition set of graphics etc.

Very nice bike, I like the look of those Giants, but I'd rather have one of the new ones with the current spec of the same kit, and probably have a few quid left over for some spare "training" wheels. All academic really as it's not as though I've got six grand.

Andrew Green in 'This bike's too retro' shocker . Who'd have thought it?

[Elliot M]

yeah -- but they haven't sold it at that price after 5 years have they?

[Marky Mark]

Put me down for 2 at that price, SPOKES could be better

[Marek]

They could have got a black rubber band, and correct me if I am wrong but it looks to have plastic, not carbon bottle cages, for 6.5k you think you would get record bottle cages.

Not plastic Marek, they are pressed alu Tacx Tao cages.

In my opnion, the bet in the business. I've been using them for years and never had a bottle fall out. Not even on the flandrian cobbles last Saturday. And believe me, I saw quite a few go astray. Even had to run one down!

When they build an ultimate bike Adam they go to Campagnolo .

not only for time trials, but also for massed start track events.
These were made in 1984, the following year officials banned them from group racing.
