Yes, the OCR is currently a triple. The crankset on the Cannondale is a 53-39. If I'm going to spend $200, I'd rather add it in towards the cost of the Cannondale frame that includes an unused crankset. What kind of weight savings do you guess I'd get from the OCR/Truvativ triple crank to the Cannondale/carbon double crank?
Reading bikeforums.net predisposes you to never be satisfied with your bike.
I can not give you a number , but when I replace the stock triple on my OCR with a compact a couple of years ago the bike felt significantly lighter. Like mercator, the OCR is now my commuter/rain bike. I eventually did a carbon build and, while the OCR was nice, you just can not compare the ride to full carbon. Keep that in mind, as you do realize that you will feel the need to go FULL carbon at some point
