I have an 06 Giant TCR3 and I bought it built and on sale this year. I upgraded the gruppo and use it for racing.

Supposedly the TCR3 frame is the same as the TCR1 but w/ diff componentry - but I always wondered if that's true.

I am wondering if anyone has the stats on the weight in lbs or kg of the frame, fork, and headset for this bike. I am just curious how the weight compares to higher-end CF bikes.

thanks.

I just went through this exercise with my 06 TCR Ltd. The Ltd., like the C2 and C3, has the same frame as the C1 and C0, but has a different fork. The C2 and C3 come with an alloy steerer as opposed to a carbon steerer, which adds about 200 grams. Aside from that the big differences are the wheelset and components, but the frame is the same.
