how much has the Giant TCR Team changed over the years?

if you had the choice between the ocr1 or the tcr2 which would you pick??
both are similarly priced and have much the same specifications.
just wondering what the difference would be in riding them.

dont know much about the differences between the tcr and ocr lines but i think the ocr line in general has a much more upright riding position than the tcr.
anyone know if the tcr team has changed much in the last 6 years?

They really are very different bikes.
If I am not mistaken the bikes have changed very little through the years. The composite OCR's are new as of 2005 and have made only minor changes in the composition.

how different is the geometry on the ocr and tcr? is one stiffer than the other? could you get the same riding position on the ocr with new bars/headset?
i really like Giant and its tuff to find a good deal on a used tcr so i was thinking of looking at the ocr bikes if i could still get an agressive position out of them.
