Giant TCR A Women's 2008 Features: A race-ready bike with the best of both worlds: the stiffness of aluminum and the lightweight properties of composite. We bring them together in one package, paying attention to the way a bike performs at various points on the frame. Need more stiffness here? Require vibration dampening there? No worries, Giant has applied each material where you need it the most. Frame Technology: Giant's proprietary Alliance frame technology takes advantage of the performance benefits of both aluminum and composite. Through careful, seamless integration of these two materials, riders of all levels can reap the benefits of increased comfort and performance from this unique blend.

In July of this year, I bought a new bike, a road-racing bike from the Chinese manufacturer "Giant". It too is called TCR, but this time round I've no idea what it stands for. What I do know is that, for the money, it's a fine piece of machinery and over the next virtual page or two, I'll tell you exactly why.
Spurred back on to my bike, after more than 10 years of neglect, by a declining level of fitness and an expanding waist-line, I started riding again at the beginning of this year.
