Sorry, is this a "TCR" or a "TCR Composite 1" or an '03 TCR1? I can'
find an '04 TCR 1..

The TCR Composite-1 is about $4k complete I think

Byron:

Given that TCR-1 composite fetches around 4 grand brand new, and Mavi
Ksyrium Elite is $900 per set (without tyres/tubes), if the one offere
to you is new, then my math says you save ~$250-300

If it's not new, then you have to consider warranty, wear, etc. an
whether $250-300 is worth it all. For a composite frame, I wouldn't los
warranty over that much of saving, but that's me

Cheers, Amir
