Wanted: Giant FCR

SunshineCyclist

Hi I am looking for a Giant FCR 1, 2 or 3, depends on what you have. It would need to be approx 50 - 54 cm as i'm only 5 ft 5 and in good condition of course.

Don't know if it's still available.

Thanks Charlie but that frame is a little to big for me!

Are you strictly looking for flat bars?

I have a 54cm giant OCR compact bike for sale which is perfect for fast commuting or training.

It's Giant OCR Compact road bike with full Shimano 105 Groupset. It's 54cm with a light aluminium frame and aero carbon fork. It's a perfect bike for a fast commute and clocking up training miles.

Components: Full Shimano 105 Groupset (Triple - 27 Speed)
Wheels: Mavic Open Pro Rims/Ultegra Hubs (Bulletproof commuting wheels)
Tyres: Continental Gator Skins (Puncture resistant)
ITM seatpost
Deda Handlebars

The bike has been kept indoors and well maintained with weekly cleaning,degreasing and oiling. I have serviced the entire bike (including hubs and headset).

Any worn parts have been replaced so the following are all new:

Brake pads (Good quality wet pads on rear/dry pads on front)
Cassette
Chain
Front chainring
Front Derailleur

There are two sets of brake levers, one on the shifters as normal and one on the handlebars, like in this picture but two levers for front and back. This gives you the drop bars of a road bike and the quick access to brakes (while riding in a traffic friendly position) of a hybrid and has saved my ass countless times in city centre traffic! If you don't like this setup I can remove them.

The pedals are two sided (flat and SPD) so once you make the transition to proper cycling shoes you won't need to buy pedals.

I've spent over €200 on replacement parts and the bike retailed for 1000-1200 new in 2006 so I'm looking for a very reasonable E500. Selling due to upgrade.

The bike is equivalent in weight to something like this but with a better groupset

I can throw in a free helmet, pump, tubes, lock, rear light and saddle bag.

I'll post pics this evening

Very interested, offer €430 for bike only, have all accessories already so only the tubes would be useful.

Was looking for a compact double - I suppose there's no chance you have one!!

Thanks for the offer Cork and Proud

The accessories don't factor into price. I have them lying round so they're "free to a good home" with the bike.

I'm looking for the asking price and won't sell for €430 sorry.

I'll have pics up tonight.
