Giant TCR 2 bike review

Giant produced the TCR 2 bike in 1997 and can be classified as a Road bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $1,299.95.
TCR 2 bike is available in many sizes such as Large , medium and small .
Giant Road TCR 2 can be found in a few colors, among these colors Cyan blue kandy .
This bike is equiped with 700 x 23c Vredestein Fortezza tires and Carbon fiber spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Rigida CSU, 12-hole/16-hole. Giant equiped this exact model with Shimano 105SC Dual Pivot brakes, Shimano 105SC levers braking system and Giant EXT Pro Carbon/aluminum hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Giant used Giant CU92 aluminum, butted material for the frame. Cinelli Touch E high strength material is used on the handlebar of this TCR 2 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Mike Burrows adjustable aluminum.
For the smoothest biking experience Shimano 105SC, 39/52 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to Sachs SC-R80 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Giant, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano 105SC STI Dual Control gear shift levers.
