Giant TCR - T-Mobile
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Hi to all, new to this site, here's my bike!
2004 Giant TCR in T-Mobile colours
Currently around 7.5kg
Not really a weight weenie, hopefully it will be in time though!
Current spec is as follows:
Mostly Ultegra 6600 groupset, standard double, with a 6700 12-25 cassette
Mavic Aksiums, stickers removed
Planet X lightweight skewers
Continental Attack & Force tyres
Continental lightweight tubes
Rose carbon seatpost and saddle
5mm Rose carbon spacer
BBB carbon top cap
3T 130mm stem
3T Ergonova bars
SRAM Garmin mount
Fizik tape
Look Keo 2 max pedals (new since photos were taken)
Elite cages
Jagwire cables
Think that's all! Want to swap the cages for either carbon or black Elites, and go back to white handlebar tape. Next upgrades then will be wheels, and brakes to shed some weight...longterm I'm aiming for 6.8kg.
Overall a lovely bike to ride and a great groupset.
Thanks for looking!

I love this color scheme! I always have my eyes open for this frameset in my size.

Welcome to the site.
This set up with a 10 year old frame is better built as some of 2014 bikes.
Looks good.

Everything is all right in the end, so if everything is not allright it's not the end

I had mine repainted, due to some scratches. It's a 2006 T-Mobile LE (ISP), very similar to yours:
Since then I've moved to the newer TCR. It's comfier than the one above, though I miss the stiffness and response of that bike.

Thanks for the comments! @shotgun - that's a gorgeous looking bike, would love one at some stage!
Thought I'd post a little update...competed in my first open race on this bike at the weekend, managed to finish 7th and score a couple of points!! Delighted with the result, and how the bike performed...finishing ahead of a lot more modern machinery was nice
I've changed the wheelset for Vueltas which I got cheaply second hand, they'll do til I can afford something a little better! They weigh just a touch over 1500g so a few hundred grams were lost, and they roll so much faster than the old Aksiums! I removed the stickers that were on them as I didn't like the look of them at all. Bar tape was changed to white Fizik, much nicer feel than the old tape. I'm currently waiting on a set of carbon bottle cages and ti bolts I bought off ebay, that should shed another 40g or so! Next up will be a DA chain, and some lightweight jockey wheels. And a few photos:
