Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I utilized Giant's crash replacement policy

Long story short I was involved in a group crash during the century ride of Tulsa Tough and cracked my top tub.




It was my 2010 TCR Advanced 1 I got in October. Well I brought it into my LBS and they contacted the Giant rep and I obtained the same TCR Advanced frame only different color today. Total cost $900.00 out the door. I was worried at first because I was told that the frame sets were out of stock unil August/ September time. A cool shop in Oklahoma City broke the bike down and sent it to Tulsa with the Giant Rep for my local LBS to put all my existing components on. A little bit of luck and hit to the wallet but I will be back on it tomorrow!



Here is my old TCR

Neat, but what's with your saddle being so far forwards. I feel like that would be really uncomfortable and won't allow you to generate as much power.

My original Retul fit and comfort level for the last 3000 miles tell me it is right on!
