$500

Mid-aughts TCR Advanced completo bike in good condition, sized medium, looks like 54.5cm effective top tube, but you might call it 55.. compact geo = awkward measuring. Giant's ETTs seem to pull long, yet still fit people who generally ride the size in question... i typically ride stuff more in the S range with other manufacturers, but I've got two M Giants and they both fit rite. I'm 5'8 with a 32 inseam, if that's helpful.

The frame has two things to call out: some appreciable tire rub inside the chainstays - thru the paint on both, maybe into a tiny bit of carbon too (probably just the resin tho); and what MIGHT be a small isolated crack in the ND side o the seat tube, where I accidentally let the bike fall over in my damn house and it chipped the paint. Sucker "fell" maybe 1.5' into a table in my living room - just not enough to do actual damage. But upon further inspection, it does seem like it goes into the carbon a bit... but tho I'm one who says a crack in a carbon frame is pretty much the death of the frame - not this one, not in this tube.. It's not like a stress crack (IF it's even a crack) that's just going to get worse or any indication of a weakness or otherwise compromised frame. Just a nick I, myself, put there.. So I kept on riding er, for about another year I'd guess. No issues. no expansion. No worsening. No noises. Still mash the f up harsh grades, still bomb with typical suicidal abandon down technical descents, still raced on it, etc.

The frame is in otherwise b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l condition.

OK bike spex:

-Complete and matching gray Ultegra 6700/6750 group (compact crankset - 50x34) in good condition. 11-28 on le back.
-ENVE 110 stem
-Syntace p6? p9? do they make a 9? i thought i remembered it being adverted as a 9 to me, but kinda looks like 6 is sorta it for the Syntace Ps. 'ever the case, it's a hella lite full carbon post with some 'give' for rider comfort in the saddle.
-DuraAce alloy tubeless ready wheelset on the bike.. i have some others, clincher, tubeless, and tubular that i might be willing to swap onto that mufkr
-Will throw on a like-new set o Speshulized Roubaix open tires if you want (DA wheelset has Open Paves on it currently)
-Compact drop alloy bars in 40cm
-Dope ass gold bar tape
-Cages look Ti. might not be - I've had both varieties and they could just be regular aluminums.. but they look good anyway.

Pics available, just email er txt me. email's better for pix tho.

I live in Argay (outer NE Po), but can possibly meet in-the-middle somewhere if you're out of the area.
