I call it "jigsaw" tube set because you can put all tube together with a kind of mechanical lock.
There are 5 pieces for one frame.
1.seat tube
2. V-foil top and down tube
3.Monoblock headtube
4. seatstay set
5.chainstay
very interesting!

Paint job on that giant looks fugly...
i like the new giant advance frame, but the paint has got to go. one thing i notice, is that the frame looks like its lugged take a look at these pics
the top tube
and take a look just above the bottom braket
and again in the seat stay wishbone tube, just above the brake
i could be wrong but what does it look like to you guys?

I agree. The design/fab looks unrefined, joints look clumsy. "God is in the details".
The other Giants look like they're made with love, this looks like a shop-fab proto, not a benchmark class act.
Re: the paint: Enough with the ugly gold swirlies....
The "jigsaw" frame is way more interesting, to me.

Yeah, exactly, but so why did they wear a stained, ripped tux to the big dance?

The devil's in the detail. It looks very scruffy. And the graphics on most TCR's. Why? Less is more. I held off getting a TCR for sometime because I didn't realise I could get the plain black I did get in the end. And the protype one we got posted last week looks the Dogs Bollocks as we say in the UK. Nikh will explain!!! Mind you i'm still coming down from the rush when all the pics appeared. Anymore in such a short time will mean a five fingered shuffle!!!!

Hey, we'd all like to see the pics Glad you posted to the forum, Velocity, this is all interesting stuff.
Nic, you're a builder, what's your reaction to those mechanicals? What do you think the detail is?
