This is the same bike that the 2005 T-Mobile Team road in the Tour De France without the ugly Pink Paint scheme. It is made of the stiff T-800 carbon fiber with the boron nitride bottom bracket - very stiff for climbing. I cant seem to find the actual paint scheme in the 2005 Giant archives any more. The frame set retailed for $2500.

The bike was built in 2006 and is a Medium size. I am 5’-10" and use a 110mm stem. The bike retailed for $5000 w/out the Zipp stem, Zip bars, FSA carbon seatpost,FSA carbon crankset, Kysirium SSC SL wheels and Mavic wireless computer w/ cadence sensor. All Durace - sweet bike that just sits as I ride my Kestrel KM-40 and Litespeed moutain bike all of the time. This bike only has 525 miles on it. It is set up for hills with a compact crank set and 12-27 rear cassette. It weighs a tad less than 16 lbs w/out pedals.
Pictures available on request. This is a sweet deal - $2750 plus shipping. Est shipping costs are $75 for UPS ground max. Bump me or e-mail me at kbiek@sbcglobal.net.
