Up for sale is a Giant TCX Espoir 26 bicycle. It is in excellent condition with minimal signs of wear. I bought it for my son, who put about 200mi on it over 4 summers (everything on asphalt, in dry conditions, no spills or abuse). I would rate the bike 10/10 mechanically and 9.5/10 cosmetically.

If you are not familiar with it, the Giant TCX Espoir 26 is one of the top youth bicycles on the market. It is light, fast, sturdy, adjustable, and equipped with quality components. Best of all, it is versatile and can be used in all kinds of terrain and on all kinds of surfaces: road/asphalt, gravel, fire roads, mud (cyclocross), and more. This is not a generic ride from Walmart with a heavy frame and shabby componentry, but a well-engineered aluminum bike from a pro-peloton brand. It has a youth-specific compact geometry, low standover height, powerful disc brakes, balanced gearing, and lots of other features designed for young riders who want to experience real performance. It can be used for competition if your child is an aspiring racer.

Here is a quick spec list:

Frame: ALUXX-grade aluminum
Fork: Alloy, ALUXX steerer
Rims/Wheels: Giant Alloy, double-wall, 26" diameter, 14g stainless steel spokes (20 front, 28 rear)
Tires: Schwalbe CX Pro, 26x1.35
Crankset: Alloy 3-piece w/chain guard
Chainring: 36T
Bottom Bracket: Threaded cartridge, sealed
Chain: KMC Z72
Rear Derailleur: Shimano Claris
Cassette/Rear Cogs: Shimano HG50 11x32, 8-speed
Shifters: Microshift SB-R842
Handlebars: Alloy, 25.4mm
Stem: Alloy
Brake Levers: Microshift SB-R842 w/top levers
Brakes: Tektro mechanical discs, 140mm
Pedals: Platform
Saddle: Giant youth
Seatpost: Alloy, 27.2mm

The bike is adjustable and will fit riders between 8-15 years of age and up to about 5'6" tall. The pictures here are of the actual item.

The bike retails new for over $700, but it is sold out everywhere and very hard to find. Asking $550, sold as is, no returns. It is properly set up, cleaned, lubed, and ready to ride off the bat. Would make a really nice X-mas or B-day gift.

Thanks for looking, and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or to set up a visit!
