| 06/10/2003 | In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Tour de France, Giant Bicycles has announced that it will produce a Special Edition Team TCR Composite, which will go by the name TCR Century 100, for use by Team ONCE-Eroski in the 2003 Tour de France. The bike will make its debut on July 4th at the official presentation of the Tour. Additionally, 100 of these bikes will be made available world wide, with five coming to the United States for sale through select Giant Professional Cycling Retailers.
One of these limited edition bikes will be given away as a special promotion through velonews.com (open to US residents only). The contest will run from July 4-18.
Following the tremendous success of the special edition 2002 TCR Composite Gold, the TCR 100 not only honors the Tour’s history but also serves to commemorate ONCE’s history and success at the Tour since 1990, from Eduardo Chozas' victory in 1990 at St Etienne to last year’s Team Classification victory.
The bike will once again be outfitted with special edition components from Campagnolo, AX–Lightness and Nokon, as well as a full complement of carbon composite Giant Racing Components. A special graphics scheme will highlight the key cities and mountains of this legendary race, such as Le Tourmalet, l’Alpe d'Huez, Paris and Marseilles.www.giant-bicycles.com
