Medium Giant TCR Advanced 2012 W

Got the frame off craigslist (new crash replacement) as well as all the parts. Goal was to keep it under $2k USD and below 17lbs w/ cages and pedals (my gravel/allroad bike comes in at 20lbs). Built this up before joining WW so no individually weighted parts, but if/when I rebuild it I'll weigh everything.

i'm inclined to put r8000 di2 mechs/shifters on w/ some sprint shifters. the routing for that is going to be a faff though. i've tried fitting schwalbe pro one 28mm tires on these rims and they barely rubbed, but i think the casing on that particular tire rubbed, so i may try that again. the roads in seattle are awful. there are also lots of 15%+ climbs around here, i don't like to grind, and i weigh 75kg, hence the 32t cassette.

as far as making it lighter i could do the s-works power, some sort of carbon wheels (skeptical though), and dura ace throughout. but i am rough on my bikes so i think this is a good setup given my current income.

Nice bike, no-nonsense build. What are the stickers?
