This is my "new" Giant TCX Advanced Sl 2013 Rabobank team bike. Bought this bike last week to compensate the selling of the ATB & Scott Addict. I wanted a cyclocross bike for some time and when I sold my Addict the time was right to buy one. I wanted a nice 2nd hand top end frame with a good build instead of a new bike ( same price ) with an aluminium frame and 105 groupset.

So a few weeks of searching the 2nd hand sites and I saw this beauty with the right geometry. It's a size S but with the higher stand over hight, it's almost the same as my Scott Foil. The distance between saddle tip and center of the bar is -1cm and the saddle hight is -0,7cm. For the moment I am riding Fulcrum 7 - but have a set of Cole T38 full carbon tubular wheels comming here also. So what do you guys think of the bike ??

Bike in it's element.

@ Tom14 - Don't know the weight yet... will hang it on the scale with the Cole wheels.

@ Juan - Brakes are TRP I guess ... specially made for Rabobank.
