    In the hunt for another Giant TCR frame (M or M-L) to build up a replica of
    my 'race' bike for commuting and general thrashing about... called up Lygon
    Cycles where I got my TCRc1 from a few months back... one word - awesome

    Spoke to Paul who knew exactly what I wanted, why I wanted it, totally
    understood me from the get go. No frames in stock, or trade ins, so he gets
    on the phone to Giant right away without me even asking.. They didnt have
    any stock either, but he told me to keep checking back with them as they'd
    help me out.

    woot!

    cheers,

    Yep, sure do... although I'm not sure if racing track will allow me to sit
    on the front for the last 6kms of every race.. 😉

    Trackies aren't known for brains, it shouldn't be a problem 🙂

    50cm frame for 5'8"-6'? I wouldn't have thought so.

    DaveB[/QUOTE]
    That is the "medium" size for these (compact -sloping top tube), so it may be a little bit out - maybe 5'6"-5'10" is a better guess?

    so you reckon a person of height 5'8"-6' would fit
    a compact Giant 46.5 cm (Small) or 53.5 cm (M-L) frame?

    I ride a small OCR frame and it's a slight reach for me (top tube's a trifle
    long). I'm 5'6".

    I jumped on a small and medium TCR on the weekend and both bikes seemed
    fine with me (I'm 170cm tall). Of course, I should get a proper fitting
    when I decide to part with some cash.

    giant's medium compact (50cm) is pretty close to a 55cm equivalent.

    im sure one of you could look up the top tube length of the giant website.

    anyway, im 5'10-5'11 and would ride a medium, if i rode a giant

    I am 5'7" and ride a small OCR. It feels just right to me.

    I am 5 11 and a bit and I have a medium TCR. Straight out of the box
    its fine for me.
    A better fit than my fractionally large 58 Giant. So its about a 56 or 57

    Like a good sniper - I was watching 🙂

    I picked up a TCR1 '05 M-L frame and fork yesterday from someone in Bendigo
    for that exact price.. plus I got some Ultegra brakes front and back for
    it..

    Spent yesterday building it all up and just got back from my first ride on
    it (55kms rolling hills).... strangely enough, it feels like my TCRc1 '05...
    exactly what I was after.
