Nope, that is my old Bridgestone RB1 - steel lugged frame Way different bike than my new TCROriginally Posted by RoadRaven
Don't have a digital camera picture of my giant. Don't have a digital camera. Maybe when I have some extra money when I don't spend it on TCRs, I might have the money to buy a digital camera!

I was doing the same thing Road Raven. I pulled up your avatar Spoke to see your bike! How funny. I own a TCR C2 and I love it....did I say how much I love it.
I don't have the problem some women have because I am tall. I actually don't have a WSD and wouldn't be able to fit on one. I am 5'11" and have a M/L frame. It is fast and very agile too. Just learned how to go no hands on it! Was worried because it is quick on the turns!

Sizing is right on Giant's site:

Scroll to the bottom. I just got an OCR comp w in xxs, as I am 5 feet tall with 28 inch inseam. I think the XS could have worked too.

For reference I'm 5'8" with a 30" inseam and am riding a compact, small TCR.

One more with an ocr1. I'm 5-3" and have an XS. Feels good to me. Oh and I have two water bottles mounted on the frame.

I am 5'2"-ish and was fitted on an XXS compact Giant w/650 wheels. It was between that and the 44cm Specialized Ruby w/700 wheels and after months of agonizing, the Ruby won out. The fits on both felt good, but something about the Ruby just felt better - I can't put my finger on it, I just knew . . .
