Does anyone know the head tube length measurement on the medim and the large frames? I am in search of a new bike but have loooong legs and short torso/ave arms. Trying to find a 57cm approx frame with a longer head tube.
Thanks!

The Giant web site posts the following information about TCR geometry at: http://www.giantbicycles.com/us/050.000.000/050.600.100.asp?sPageID=050.600.100

Hope this helps!

I have a medium and the headtube measures 5.80"(142mm). There's very little extension of the headtube above the toptube. I have 50mm of spacers on mine (the maximum Giant recommends) though I may lower it a bit. I usually ride a 54-55 and generally have around 3" of drop max from the seat to top of stem. I've attached a picture to give some idea of how it's setup currently.
