Wanted : Giant OCR2 stock Stem
I recently purchased a TCR 3 and really need to change the handlebar stem.
I've been to the giant dealer to find the stock OCR 2 stem, but they say they don't have it.
I used to have an OCR2 and liked the feel so that's why I want to get the same stem.
Does anyone have the stock one around that they can sell ?

I don't think there's anything special about the stem on an OCR2. Are you uncomfortable on the TCR? If so, you might have an incorrect length stem, or the TCR has a lower, more aggressive stance than your OCR did. If you're super set on that stem though (although I'm not sure why you would be) then contact Giant maybe?

I doubt it was the stem that you liked. In fact I think often the TCR and OCR used the same stem. The OCR has a shorter top tube and longer head tube - that is more likely what you liked. You might try more spacers (if you can) or flip the stem up. Also, on a side note I know from personal experience that some of the Giant carbon stems can be flexy. I might recommend a Ritchey WCS or a Thomson.
