2005 Giant TCR 1 vs. OCR 3 composite
I'm looking to get into road biking and am thinking of either a 2005 Giant TCR 1 or a 2005 giant OCR 3 composite. Does anyone have any advice or ideas?

I have an ocr3 comp. Works great for me, choose whichever fits you and your riding style and body setup better.

Remember that the OCR C3 can always be upgraded at some time to higher level componentry. I have one and have upgraded it to DA. The TCR1 will always have an aluminum frame.

get the TCR 3 composite if you want to be fast and have the ability to upgrade.
