For sale is my custom-built 2019 Giant TCR Advanced SL, size Medium/Large, built as an exceptionally lightweight 1x rim-brake climbing bike.
I purchased the frameset approximately one year ago from CyclingUpgrades.com and personally built the bike from the frame up. The frame itself has only approximately 150 miles of use.
This is an extremely light build using a high-end Advanced SL carbon frameset, Roval CLX 32 carbon tubular wheels, Easton EC90 carbon crankset, Shimano Ultegra R8000 drivetrain components, Zero Gravity/Ciamillo brakes, and a lightweight FSA cockpit.

Current saddle height is approximately 31.9 inches from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the saddle.

Mechanically, everything operated properly before the chain was removed. Shifting is excellent, wheels and bearings are smooth, brakes function properly, and there are no known mechanical or structural issues.
No crashes. No cracks. No carbon repairs. No structural damage.
Please review all photographs carefully, as they are part of the description.

The verified 12.56 lb weight was measured without pedals and chain.

SHIPPING / LOCAL PICKUP
Local pickup is welcome.
Shipping is available via UPS Ground. The bike will be carefully packed in a dedicated bicycle shipping box and partially disassembled as necessary for safe transportation.
Buyer should expect to reinstall items removed for shipping and install their own pedals and correctly sized 11-speed chain before riding. A normal post-shipping safety inspection is recommended.
Handling time: up to 3 business days before shipment.
TEMPORARY SHIPPING NOTE
I will be unavailable from August 21 through August 31st.
The bike can ship before that period if purchased with enough time for packing. If purchased too close to or during those dates, shipment will take place promptly after I return.
FINAL NOTES
This is not a stock TCR build. It was assembled specifically as an exceptionally light rim-brake climbing bike using carefully selected lightweight components.
At a verified 12.56 pounds, it is an unusual build from the final generation of high-end lightweight rim-brake road bikes.
Selling simply because I now have other bikes that better suit the riding I currently do.
Please feel free to contact me with any serious questions regarding fit, components, measurements, or the build.
