I built up the frame a few weeks ago using parts from another bike and have since enjoyed the ride. I waited until the new wheelset arrived from Mike Garcia at OddsAndEndos.com before taking pictures. I had him build up a 28 front/32 rear spoked set using IRD Cadence rims on SpeedCific hubs. So far the wheels are a great improvement when sprinting and cornering than my worn out Rolf's, and I dropped about 400 grams of rotating weight. This bike fits like a glove and fulfills all my needs (comfortable, stiff/quick, light, affordable). It corners precisely but still isn't twitchy. Giant is the best bang for the buck in my experience. Here's my review http://www.roadbikereview.com/2004+Road+Bike/Giant+Bicycle+Inc.+TCR+Composite+1/PRD_290524_5668crx.aspx
