Description
TCR Advanced 3 Road Bike, 2012
The Giant Advanced 3 is made from T-700 raw carbon fiber which is used to produce custom coposite material in Giant's own coposite factory, making the frame extremely lightweight, stiff and compliant giving you the best performances available weather your racing or just riding for fun.
Giant was the first company to use the compact road design back in 1997 it was a break through in road bike technology, The concept is simple by employing a top tube that slopes down from the headtube to the seattube a design that was popular in mountain bikes in the 1990s, the size between the front and rear triangles is reduced which means reduced weight and a smaller triangle means reduced weight and also offeres increased stiffness.
