It is definatley a great fork. One of my mates from the UK has one and he swears by it, (so do I). It light, super plush and super stable. The only down side is the cost of the thing.
Your'e right Christie, If no one has noticed Giant has no Alu TCR this year, My step brother (works at Giant in the states) says that this is just to fill the gap between the OCR and TCR carbon
I run both V and discs, Avid ultimate V's (and levers) on my Extralite hardtail and the new Avid Juicy Ultimate discs on my Specialized Epic. Personally i prefer the V's I just find that you can get better lever modulation. Of course when you hit the wet... well I use my discs.
Windbreaker - Nice idea but I don't want to push my luck, I have just been given a 20 grand frame, lots of supplements, wheels and lot of support, come to think what is your bank balance like, want to get me one or do you have a spare
