I noted that while most databases include colored frames for a race leader to ride...most teams are stuck on a typical bike or a generic that instead of brand, it has the race name on it.
What Im asking/wondering if someone could make a color way for the 3 Grand Tours...from each frame that is in the game. Alot to ask, but I see it being something many would like. I would rather use a yellow Giant if Im winning the TDF than a generic frame stamped with le tour instead of a brand.
If not, can someone point me in the direction of someone who is good at making team frames for custom teams. I have a jersey being made, but he cant do frames.

Not sure if "most databases" in this case refers to PCMDaily's DB? At least adding a generic frame with the race as brand is done in it  While we'd like to include as many real brands race leader frames as possible, it's quite impossible to do that. Considering the GTs, there'd be at least 11 frames/helmets per brand to add.. think of 10 brands and you've already got 220 equipment pieces 
So for now the only way I guess is really replacing the 'custom' frames by the leader-colored frame of the brand of your team. Now as for your actual question, yellow giant... tbh can't recall seeing one. However, I believe it is possible to, without much difficulty, create a yellow Giant frame based on the auto-color Giant frame (that is, the frame with one color and the auto-color part with another - one of these obviously being yellow/the desired leader color ).

I've done leader frames for the Tour de France, with the Cannondale brand. It is very easy to do them, if you have a .PSD file, takes about 30 secs to recolour

True...but maybe just the 3 grand tours. Still alot of work, but seeing if your rider is leading...you are almost always in a yellow kit. Useing the TDF as an example. Why not recolor all the frames the pro teams use. That would be 1 more frame per brand. If I knew how, I would do it, and have someone insert it into the PCM DB for 2013.
That way it is more realistic. If there is a step by step guide, Ill give it a try. See what I can do.

I have already tried with specialized but i think that it's not the best work, it's very amateur.

Ups, I'd forgotten TT ones - make those 220 actually 440 pieces I meant it's physically impossible to add all these (besides the fact that obviously they're not all made). Concerning the creation of them, you can't just "recolor" frames from the WT teams and keep it in good quality unless you have the .psd file. And if you recolored the ones of WT teams, there'd be still all the other teams (custom teams, CT that rise, teams that change sponsor in careers), so doing it just for the WT teams wouldn't be enough.
Anyway, this is going off-topic, which is if anyone has Giant leader frames...

What do the look like in game? Most only ride the GT colored (pink,yellow,red) on the last stage. Till then, they only do stuff like seats, bar tape small areas. I tend to use a GC tour leading frame on the last 3-4 stages if I have a good gap. 3-4min or so.

Well, I tried to, as I said in post #2, recolor the autocolor Giant bike. Here's what I got:
(credits to ANFreeman I think for the original bike)
The problem with doing this with other frames is that, in the Giant autocolor bike, the Giant logos are part of the autocolor, while in most other bikes they aren't. So the method I used here wouldn't really work for the other brands. But anyway, creating a simple leader frame from another brand doesn't really take too long either
As for the Giant files, if you're interested, they're attached
