James_London - that sounds like a ferocious build!

Looking forward to getting this thing built... Slightly lardier wheels should help you keep up on the flats, Mr Sawyer!

christ!! has anyone else got a white Advanced frame and wheels they'd like to post??? that looks superb!

Excellent looking bike.

Amazing really, so many companies struggle to find their "look" but Giant has just nailed the aesthetics thing and with such a simple formula. Will probably never appear dated.

2009 TCR Alliance 1 with Ultegra SL. Looking at stems, handlebars, and cranksets for my next upgrades. (I know, the front wheel is on backwards, I was drunk or really tired when I put this together last).

Yes I have, unfortunately no pictures yet! Will try to shoot some this weekend!

On the 2010's, are you running inline adjusters, or fitting some sort of barrel adjuster into the stops?

The 2010 frameset comes with barrel adjusters though you may be able to get away without them. I haven't checked since with Di2 I won't be using them!

My new frame...:

Built will be completed with a Shimano Ultegra 6700 groupset, and I am thinking about a 3T stem and 3T bars (I like the black & white scheme and I don't fancy the idea of a carbon fibre stem and bars). Saddle will probably be a white Selle Italia SLR Gelflow.

...but I am open to suggestions...

One more white TCR for the collection:
