2006 Giant TCR Omnium Size M 50 cm track frame set carbon fork white
Frame and Wheel is auctioning a 2006 Giant Omnium track frame set on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The frame set was purchased new from Exeter Cycles in New Hampshire in 2008. It was raced twice and has been in storage ever since. It has never been crashed. The owner is selling the frame set because he no longer races or rides at the track. The frame set features a full carbon aerodynamic fork, horizontal rear drop outs with adjustment screws, aerodynamic down tube and seat tube, track specific geometry and white and blue finish. The frame set as shown weighs 1.93 kg or 4 pounds and 4 ounces. The serial number reads GD679102. Frame requires splined seat post which is not included. Please see 50 additional images of the frame set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please see the Frame and Wheel website for more information about the service.
Review of condition
The frame set is in very good condition. It is clean and ready for build. There are no bends, dents, cracks, or flaking that raise concerns about the structural integrity of the frame or the fork. The rear drop outs are in alignment with the centerline of the frame. The adjustment pins in the rear drop outs are straight and working properly. The steer tube is not cracked or showing any bulges. The front drop outs are in alignment with each other and the front fork blades are not bent. The front drop outs have safety tabs. The crown race is mounted securely on the front fork. The cartridge bearings move smoothly and the headset is not missing any parts. The head set races are not pitted or corroded. The bottom bracket threads are not stripped or corroded. There is no corrosion in the rear drop outs. Frame and Wheel notes the following. There is a 3 x 5 mm chip in the top of the down tube near the A in Giant. There is a 1 x 15 mm scratch on the drive side of the seat tube below the word Omnium. There is a 5 x 15 mm area of abrasion on the bottom of the down tube near the serial number tag. The front drop outs show wear. The rear drop outs show wear. Frame and Wheel notes that the sizing on this size M frame is different form the 2007 Size M model. Frame and Wheel also points out that the frame requires a four-splined seat post.
Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this is a very nice and very lightly used track frame set that will make an excellent choice for the cyclist who is just starting out in track cycling. It is durable and sufficiently aerodynamic and it has many hours of pursuit remaining in its alloy and carbon tubes. It could also have a future as a fixed gear bicycle given that the front fork has a bolt hole for a front brake. The new owner will have fun building up this frame into a track thoroughbred and will no doubt be satisfied with the value obtained from this transaction.
