Giant TRC 1 Advanced 2013 frameset

Up for sale Giant TRC 1 Advanced 2013 frameset. Set includes - frame+fork+seatpost+BB.
This was a demo bike few years ago, so haven't been on the road. Maybe gathered few hundred miles of test-riding around the block, but maybe not.
Nevertheless there is a lacquer chips here and there from improper or grubby storing. Most obvious on top tube and seat tube (see pics).
But the real problem here is that it has a small crack in seat tube. As this frame has a tapered seat tube someone somehow (what an idiot!) managed to hammer seat post down to low or it just slipped. Anyways it has been bit too far in the seat tube than it was suppose to be causing this hairline crack.
Got it a year ago as part of a deal and mostly because of groupset and wheels I was after.
Only then I realized it has this small crack. I stripped it, took the group and wheelset I was after and left the frame in the garage as I could not decide what to do with it - sell it as it is or try to fix it and then sell it.
It has been hanging there for too log, so now it's for sale as it is.
Really don't know how much to ask.... Back then, in 2013, new set costs around 1500 gbp (http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/bikes/model/2013.giant.tcr.advanced.frameset/11824/56785/)
Some time ago I saw a few used sets in good condition go for 450-500 gbp.
So - 250 GBP including postage to your doorstep?
Feel free to send me a PM with price suggestions or your offer.

hi, size M, is that about 55cm?

also, do you think it possible to repair the seat tube, or perhaps braze in a new one?

Hi,

TCR 1 advanced geometry > http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/bikes/model/2013.giant.tcr.advanced.frameset/11824/56785/#geometry

I not sure that brazing a new one in is the way carbon is being repaired. But it defo could be easily repaired, as damage in my opinion is small. Also I believe that it can be ridden as it is.

Those Giant frames have a liftetime guarantee - shame the original owner didn't sign that over and you could just return saying that happened.

Not sure I would buy a cracked carbon frame

My old housemate bought a Tarmac on the Spanish equivalent of gumtree. Bike arrived terribly packaged and a hub had punctured the downtube. Got it fixed locally by an old mallorquin cyclist turned mechanic and bike has been golden after 3years of use..... But yeah, not sure I'd buy a cracked frame knowingly. Shame. Lovely frame it is too
