Ive been riding a redline cross bike a few years old now but its really not mine I just ride it when its available. Im looking at the Giant TCX because I have seen some ads for it and it looks like a nice frame. Does anyone know how much this frame costs? Ive looked on the Giant website and cannot find the price anywhere. Thanks.

Alright cool so does that mean that other giant retailers will have it too?

That's the 2005 version; the 2006 is half polished Al and black.
Have a 2005 frame; rides nice...just wish the legs had a little more in 'em!

Ok yeah thats what I thought. I think I like the 05 non polished look better. The other kind makes me think of a mirror.

hows cross racing on a compact frame? a little hard to shoulder huh?

Not that tricky; I use the downtube bottle cage bolts as reference and grab the downtube there. Took a little practice but other than that, the frame rides nice.

so you carry rather than shoulder, I suppose it would be MUCH easier to carry than a standard frame, so that offsets the smaller opening. Especially if carrying is your thing.

Very nice, I almost bought one of those a few weeks ago and I didnt because of this, now I'm wishing I had.
