Is it true that 04 and 03 TCR carbon frames won't take triple drivetrain? I was told the BB shell area would interfere with the front der. Thanks.

From everything I ve read and been told you cant do it. Just wont fit simple as that, sorry but if you want a triple you want a different frame.

If you search the forums for "tcr campy triple" you'll find that some people have apparently had luck installing a triple on a tcr - as long as it is campagnolo. I've never heard of anyone successfully installing a shimano triple on a carbon tcr.

i have an 2003 tcr1 carbon with an ultegra triple. No rubbing or any other issues on it from day 1. Have over 1000mi now.

Maybe thats why the 05 OCR's are carbon with triples.

Was talking with a Giant dealer, and apparently the new 2005 TCR's CAN take a triple, due to the new geometry of the rear triangle.... (personally though, I like the responsiveness of the 2003/2004 frame...)

04 Carbon TCR wit Campy record triple 10spd.
Works fine.
