Title-Giant TCR COMPOSITE 2-RACE LIKE A PRO FOR HALF THE PRICE -$2300

Findings:

• "PREMIUM RIDE: This zippy, stiff-riding bike is ready for anything from a fast century ride to a local criterium. Credit the same as Giant's TCR 0, a $4300 machine."
• "HALL OF FAME: Jan Ullrich rode this bike's fancier brother, the TCR Advanced T-Mobile ($5500), to third place in the '05 Tour de France. But the TCR Composite 2 uses less expensive carbon (and parts, of course) to keep cost below the stratosphere."
