2006 Giant TCR C1


Ice Cold
Smooth and Shiny
Carbon EA70 stem
Race Face Cadence crank and rings. The back of the crank is extensively machined out and the chainrings are very well made with incredibly clean ramping and pinning.

Ready for action, my brand new ride for this year. This is the same bike Giant sent me last year with the exception of the new Race Face crank and the super clean Easton EA70 carbon stem. Haven't been on it yet, but I am sure the ride will be just as smooth and precise as last year. At first I wasn't sure about the yellow, but its grown on my and in the sunlight it has some metallic, mustard qualities, very nice. I am very happy about Giant dropping their house brand carbon stem for this year, the Easton is alot stiffer!

I stopped having an overly personal relationship with by bicycles when I started getting a new one every year, so I don't know if this one is male or female. I tell all the young guns to treat their bikes like "tools not jewels". Take care of your bike and use it to get faster and win races.
As for photo credits, who knows they could have been pulled off a reveiw from ProCycling or something, the light was really good that evening, wanted to make sure it got recognized :)
