I can't beleive how smooth the bike is. I took it for a very short test ride and it was amazing. I also like that the component group is all 105's as I had been test riding new bikes that were a mix of 105 and Tiagra components and these definitely felt much better.
Enjoy,

ohhhh!!! I want to play! And I will, too, just as soon as I get mine back from the shop. I just bought a 2006 OCR c3 and am having them switch out the triple for a compact.

Don't show these pix to my wife. Although she knows there are several bikes in the garage, I'm pretty sure that seeing them all together like this would push her over the edge!
I'm sort of a fan of Giants. So here's "Just the Giants":
From Left to Right: Suede DX (hers), Cypress DX, OCR2, OCRc2.
And here's the whole herd which includes a Schwinn and Specialized.

Ouch, that sucks. At least it wasn't an issue necessarily caused by Giant, just the LBS screwing up.

If i see you on beach road I'll give you a yell.
send me a pm we can arrange a ride if you like

TCR Limited, which means, umm not sure. Haven't replaced much. saddle, wheels (use cheapo cosmics for training), bar tape, pedals, cages, umm, I think that's it.
