Giant has released the Rabobank team replica TCR Advanced SL road bicycle complete with integrated seatpost, a handcrafted SL-grade composite frame built around a PowerCore bottom bracket/chainstay area for maximum stiffness and power transfer.
Also available is a non-SL marked TCR Advanced Rabobank that shares the same frame with the TCR Advanced series of bicycles, which use a standard seatpost.  The key visual differences are a more aero seat tube and differently shaped and more massive headtube. (Pic and specs after the break)
Giant has also introduced a UK-only Talon series of seven mountain bikes (5 mens / 2 womens) to accommodate the growing trail rider base there.  They use a hydro-formed AluxX aluminum frame and come with WTB saddles, Kenda Nevegal tires, disc brakes and short stem/riser bar setups.  They’re geared toward those just getting into mountain biking and are designed to perform, but with an emphasis on comfort over pure sport performance.
