Giant OCR Zero

My LBS has offered me a sweet deal on a Giant OCR Zero, one with the cool Euro paint job too, and I’m looking for opinions on the bike.

The build-up is all dura-ace with kysrium ssc wheels.

Thoughts?

ocr is more of the touring frame. tcr is the competition frame

Hey, if it looks cool…
The OCR is labeled a “touring bike,” but I’ve seen plenty made into fast tri-bikes.

Occy completed a half on one a few monthes back. The components are good, if all else fails, you can ride it for a year or so, and then swap the components on to a dedicated tri-frame.

bleck… I meant TCR, thanks for the catch.

Ze… it was only a month ago. :wink: (seems like forever though). I was supposed to do 85 on it today, but rain. Looks like 4hrs indoors on the trainer. sigh

The Giant TT bikes (The one Jan Ulrich rides) look super sexy too. I saw one up close at the Rock and Rollman 1/2(err 70.3? heh) Ironman, and it looked every bit as sexy as the Cervelo’s. Course, I’m a n00b, what do I know?

Trae

I had a regular TCR set up in a “muti-sport” position at 75/76 using a neutral set back seat post. My times were about the same as riding steep on my QR Kilo and Cervelo P2K.
