Giant OCR 3
im interested in purchasing the Giant OCR 3 2004 edition. im wondering if the cloud blue version really is for a female rider only. i was told by one of the clerks at the bike shop that the cloud blue version is exactly the same as any other version of the OCR 3. Giant's website says it features "women specific ergonomic components." now, im wondering, does the cloud blue version work for a guy too or is it that it's got a version for women and there is another cloud blue version for men? any help is much appreciated. thx!!!

Come on, be a man and buy the women's version. Their official site states that the color doesn't differentiate between male and female.

You should give it a test ride. If it is comfortable, who cares if it has woman specific components. Now, if you are buying it mainly for the color, you should get a bike that fits your right and is comfortable to ride on and get it painted whatever color(s) you want.

I have the black ocr3 - really nice. It has the selle royal viper on it aswell - I'm pretty sure that the colours don't matter - I almost got sold the blue one but I found the black one somewhere else cheaper.

Other than the saddle, I dont think there are "women's specific" parts... They might be sized differently to better fit the average female rider, but if they fit you too, dont worry about it...
