Giant OCR touring frame
I just built a cross bike using a Giant OCR touring frame. My part list is: Avid disc brakes, XT ubs, Marzochi comp 29'er shocks, Rock Shox suspension seatpost, FSA road triple 53-39-28, 12-34 XT cassette, WTB speed master rims, Ritchey alpha bite trail mix 700 x 35c tires, Kore stem, Nashbar Trekking ATB/Hybrid Handlebar, Tektro brake extenders modified for a longer reach, Avid 7.0 brake levers, and XT shifters. This bike rides like a dream, on the road or the dirt. It is more comfortable to ride on the streets and you don't have to worry about crappy roads, and on the dirt it is quite more agile and fast on the run. I cross small streams confidently and have ridden some fire roads with no problems. I love this bike. Just wanted to share. rmwun

why the shocks?
|
Got pics?
|
just curious as to why you chose this frame over their cross frame??
|
Are you going to do any loaded touring? Sounds like a good choice for all round commuter/tourer/fun bike...
|
to be honest, it doesn't really sound like a cyclo-cross bike at all...

It sounds like the bike you built suits your purpose very well. Maybe you can get a friend to snap a digital pic with their camera or camera/phone.
Have fun with it |
