potential bike

[tfg71]

morning all,

came a cross a Giant OCR ( unsure which version and age)
medium frame with ultegra setup apart from a 105 rear brake.
cheap and close by for me ( just over the bridge in Newcarron village)

think it might be worth a shot ( if it fits) ??

An OCR was my first road bike. Way way way to big for me as it was a 60cm frame and I'm a 5ft 10" man with short legs...

Decent bike though.

medium frame and the lady rider is 5ft 7 - im 5 9 and short inside leg. and about a 3rd of the price of the new triban 500 I looked at ( or half the price of a discounted unwanted triban 500 )
only about 15 mins away by car so not a great loss if its not right

£120 = no brainer

Definitely worth a look!

Size is probably perfect. I'm 5'6" and on a giant small. @vickster is 5'10" and had a medium.

Looks in wonderful condition.

Well done, you

Great deal - even if you feel the need to throw money at it in the future it will remain a bargain.

TIME XPRESSO 2 pedals ( those will be coming off ) , New Michelin pro4 service course rubber front and rear ( not sure if any good), sram p951 chain 9 speed new in box. shimano wheels , all ultegra apart from the new 105 rear brake. couple we scuffs and wear on the plastic at the hoods but other than that looks ok

Great deal but did you ask any questions, for £120 it could be of dubious provenance, if not then a bargain..

It's 9 speed ultegra, so that's 2004 or earlier
. So a reasonable price for the age. And a bargain because it looks so nice.
