i just bought a Giant OCR2, i really love it, and have been riding it non stop, i've been tinkering around with it and noticed that the stock fork, CroMo 1", is threaded, i know its a little early to be thinking about part upgrades(i've had it for a week) but i just wanted to know if this bike can accept a threadless fork, or if there are any composite threaded forks out there for sale

Sure,you need fork,HS and stem.Would have been cheaper to buy it that way. Threaded CF forks are out there too.

At one point, I was interested in getting an OCR2 for my wife. They were going to make me a great deal on it. I also asked them about a fork swap. They're selling some unlabelled Kinesis CF threadless forks for $50. They said it would require a new headset and stem and would do it all for an extra $10 with the swap figured in. Grand total for the bike and parts... just a tad under $800.
