|  How did u get a Giant TCR Composite already?!?!?! | briko51 Sep 14, 2002 4:43 PM | | I know a few guys on here said they have already purchased and received a Giant TCR composite frame. (Beaver for example) Are you sponsored by giant? I went to two LBS's yesterday and was able to get a catalog, but they said the frames wouldn't be available for a few months!
anyone know the prices of the ultegra or dura-ace equipped models? 2300-3500 or so? thanks! |

|  TREK has nothing on GIANT | RadicalRonPruitt Sep 15, 2002 3:36 AM | | GIANT is an innovator and all TREK has going for it is LA. |
|  You know of any pics of the OCLV compact on the net yet? nm | fbg111 Sep 15, 2002 5:14 PM | | |
|  re: How did u get a Giant TCR Composite already?!?!?! | PMC Sep 14, 2002 6:58 PM | | One of the bike shops in my area already has a TCR Carbon in ONCE colors with a full Record kit. They also have a number of 2003 Carbons on the way. Maybe some shops get different treatment than others depending on how many bikes they sell.
Too bad I can't get a comfortable fit on the Giant compact sizes. They are blowing out 2002 TCR 0s for $1999 with full Dura Ace and Ksyrium SL kits.
The shop is in the Minneapolis / St Paul area if anyone is interested. |
|  re: How did u get a Giant TCR Composite already?!?!?! | aliensporebomb Sep 14, 2002 8:00 PM | | Is that shop Bikemasters by any chance? I saw the Carbon
TCR there back in July when I bought my TCR2.
That's a good deal for the TCR0. |
|  re: How did u get a Giant TCR Composite already?!?!?! | PMC Sep 15, 2002 2:39 PM | | Yup
Bikemasters
The owner John seems like a good guy and some real deals could be had for anyone in the market. |
|  re: How did u get a Giant TCR Composite already?!?!?! | aliensporebomb Sep 15, 2002 7:45 PM | | Yep - same guy I got my TCR2 from. I saw him today when I
brought my bike in for some minor maintenance and also to
peek at that lovely carbon.
They had a fantastic deal on the TCR2 - $1099. Also, the
OCR Elite with the Campy wheels, brakes and drivetrain (I
think Centaur) for $1399 - I've seen that bike for $2000
previously. It's a medium. They also had a TCR0 that was
calling my name (so was the carbon).
I also found out the inside scoop regarding the Bikemaster
guy they have in the TV ads. Amusing. |
|  re: How did u get a Giant TCR Composite already?!?!?! | Beaver Sep 16, 2002 4:12 AM | | Well I'm fortunate enough to have one of the largest Giant dealers in the southeast as my LBS. When the TCR Composite 0 was delivered to the bike shop, they were 1 of 4 shops on the east coast to receive the Composite 0. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. |
|  my LBS has had 4 or 5 of them | DougSloan Sep 16, 2002 6:06 AM | | Depends on the shop. Retail at my LBS is around $1400 for frameset.
