05 Giant OCR Composite 3 real carbon fiber frame?
I've been looking at several bikes, including the Giant OCR Composite 3. It's advertised as having a carbon frame. Is this the same "carbon" as the carbon fiber of much more expensive bikes? Any help you can give on this, any info, would be much appreciated.

the OCR composite is no different than other composite frames out there
it is highly advanced construction - more advanced than you'll find in a Trek 5000/5200/5500 for example... Giant bicycles don't make anything with prefabed carbon tubing on alloy lugs thesedays (maybe in 1980s).
