I ride a Giant TCR with a long 6 degree stem on it (short legs/long torso). The OCR is a slightly more relaxed geometry. You can do alot with set up to over come the leaning over normally associated with drop bars and the variety of hand positions is a big benefit to me. The brifters are all pretty much the same, but you can get inline brake handles installed right across the top of drop bars. These allow you brake control while riding with your hands on top of bars - shifting will still be controlled by the brifters though.

I'd forgotten the name of the stretch program I was doing but it is McKenzie. These have helped me amazingly.
