Giant TCR Road Cycle-- Japanese Import -- New Upgrades

I recently moved and my old Giant TCR was damaged in the shipment. The bike shop who packaged my bike payed for a new frame and sent me this new bike recently. While I was waiting, I bought a MTB, thinking I could have MTB and a road cycle. I got many new upgrades on the TCR before I realized I don't have enough space for 2 bikes in my apartment. I have to sell the TCR now.

*All the upgrades were installed by a professional bicycle mechanic.

Also, I am not in Jeju any longer, but am in Cheonan if any interested people want to check it out in person...

Man, I wish you had posted this a month ago before I went home and brought my Trek road bike back with me on the plane from the States...

Looks like a great bike though. I might have a friend who's interested, but we're both up in Seoul. I'll talk to him and then PM you if he's interested.

I'm still looking to sell the bike.

I think I will be leaving in March and will ship in back with me and sell it stateside if need be, but I will bring it down to 1.0 m KRW.

I'll have to get some pictures up this evening to really make it shine...

That's a really nice ride, if it was a larger frame I'd be on it!

Size, yes.
Preciously the reason why I have to sell it....
