Advice on a purchase - thanks!
Fairly new to cycling, will be doing mainly group or solo rides about 500 miles a month. Test rode a brand new 2006 Giant OCR Composite 2, loved the fit and wanted to get your take on the price, $1,500.

Is this a decent deal, thanks.

It's not a bad deal since I think original retail was around $2200. I know someone who has the same bike and is very happy with it. It is well-spec'd with parts that I think are all still current. The brakes are really the only low-end part - that frame requires long reach brakes so there aren't many brake options available. It's designed to be a very comfortable performance bike.
