Price for a used Giant OCR2
A local shop is selling a "slightly" used (80 miles) 2004 Giant OCR2 with MTB style handle bars. I have a Defy 3 right now as my main bike. Is $450 a good price for this? The owner indicated that they are flexible with the price. I'm looking to get this as a backup and for when riding with my wife in the local trail.
Thanks.
Thanks.

+1 unless you really NEED a second cheap bike. The OCR is a good solid frame and rides well but would be a downgrade from the Defy3. Or would it- Slightly better spec on the OCR2 than the Defy 3. As to whether it would be worth considering is down to you but at that price- could be a good buy but doubt it would be a better bike than you already have.

You seem to already have a good bike. Why not go for the gold and negotiate for less than $400?
