I like this bike a lot. Nice even for all day/all terrain riding (with another saddle...)

I've ogled on another forum, but it's a lovely looking bike you've got yourself there Mitchy...
Thumbs up!

Nice looking build!
Do you have any idea of how big tires you could fit?

big ones!

a quick look with the verniers says there is about ~55mm width at the rear, and ~63mm up front. didn't check vertical, but still a fair bit of room for tyres and mud.

Does Giant sell the Advanced Pro 1 as a frame set as well as a complete bike? I am searching for one and was told by my LBS that they are sold out.

Is the frame geometry the same between the 2014 and 2015 model years? I thought I heard that Giant lowered the bottom bracket on the TCX but am not sure if it was for 2014 or 2015.

i dont believe they do sell it as a frameset.. only the alloy. i bought mine from someone who stripped theirs to change to a larger frame.

the '14/'15 geometry is the same, they dropped the BB height for the '14 i'm pretty sure.. maybe even '13.

You can buy the the frame, although how difficult that maybe I have no idea. For the 14 model the frame was black with orange decals.

Can't be certain but I would've thought nil changes between 14 and 15 given the 14 was an updated frame.

Is the rear derailleur Force 10 or 11 speed? Or CX1?

force 10spd. 10 and 11 speed derailleurs are compatible though. depending on how much chain slap i get, i'll likely go for an X0 Type 2, mainly because it's cheaper than the CX1.

Is that the 44t up front?

yep, Wolftooth 44t 130bcd.

That is a beautiful machine! Are you going to put tubulars on it?

no plans to... i switch tyres around too much to bother with tubular.

raced it last weekend and went flawlessly
