I've been riding an OCR2 for about 4 years now and use it primarily for commuting. Depending on the route I take, my commute is 28-37 miles round trip (25% MUT, 75% neighborhood streets). I probably have 5-6k miles on it so far. It has its positive and negatives but over all I've been pretty happy with it. However, knowing what I know now (i.e. i don't really like road biking all that much) I probably would have gotten something different, probably a cyclocross bike.

The positives: At the time it was a pretty good value. Similarly spec'd bikes from other companies were $50-100 more. It's been pretty durable. The only things that have needed to be replaced were tires, brake pads, and the chain. Normal wear and tear stuff. It's a fairly stiff frame. When you mash on the pedals it goes. It has eyelets for fenders and/or racks (mine only has them on the rear but I think the current models have fork eyelets too). I use a rear rack and have used panniers in the past without any heel clearance issues. Handling is pretty stable. It rides like a bike.

The negatives: fender and tire clearance can be an issue. I'm running 28mm Pasela TGs with full fenders and there's just barely enough clearance. In fact, I probably shouldn't run anything bigger than 25mm tires, but i like the way the 28's ride. Ride quality with the stock tires was a bit rough but different tires and playing around with tire pressures made a big difference in comfort.

Overall it has been a good commuter for me. I'm not sure if the current model has more frame and fork clearance than mine, but if you don't plan on running anything bigger than a 25mm tire with fenders or 28mm tire without, you should be fine.
