My New Road Bike!



I recently (i.e. since the marathon in April) started training for my first bicycle century--100 mile ride. As of yesterday, here is the bike I'm going to do it on--a 2008 Giant OCR C3! I've put 82 miles on it in the last day and a half.

Upgrades over my other bike (the flat bar road bike which I shall now use exclusively for the daily commute to work):
-5 lbs lighter
- clipless pedals
- a more aerodynamic riding position

Life is good!

Very nice. You will enjoy this bike. Is it a Al or C frame?

What century are you riding in?

It's a carbon frame.

I'm going to do Spin Your Wheels in august.

Excellent! I will probably be in the market for a good road bike sometime this year. I'll check out the Giant - it definitely looks cool.

I like my hybrid for all around use, but not for 100 miles. no way!

I own this bike, it rocks! By far the best bike I've ever owned.
