EDITIt's just a TCR, not a TCR2, and it also says "expert series" in small print.

Sorry I don't have a photo.

The guys at my local shop just gave me a Giant frame (no fork :( ), and I'd like to know what year it was made.

It's a TCR CU92 alu, compact.

It is silver, and the "Giant" decal is black with a thin orange outline.

Thanks :)

It's probably a 96 to 98 model. 1999 started with the ONCE paint theme and the 1998 team was yellow also.

I found a photo of a 1998 TCR. Any help.

I met a girl at the 2002 Ride for the Roses (Lance Armstrong ride in Austin, TX) who had this exact bike. I loved the wheels but they were only made for one year strictly for GIANT from what I was told by a couple of dealers.

Serious spokes on these bad boys.

Yeah.

You think the "GIANT" letters have an orange outline?

I don't think mine is quite as sloping, but then again, mine is a size 'large'
