Does anyone know what size stem and how long the Giant OCR 3 small frame 2002 model uses?

Thanks in advance

I haven't seen a stem like this one before.
The site says it uses an integrated 1" headset
Maybe someone here has the small and can measure theirs

It looks like a pretty long one. Maybe around 140mm? It's adjustable, too, which will rise and lower.

The OCR is one of those bikes that comes in a minimum number of frame sizes. The adjustable stem is there in an attempt to fit the bike to people that it really doesn't fit well.

BecauseI am changing this bike over to a touring bike and need to get a new stem for it, while I am building my new racing bike.

Why not just measure it since you have it?

Touring Bike?

I hope your planning on pulling a trailer, if you're taking gear along.

Ride Well
