Title-TOP PARTS ON A TOP DESIGN

Findings:

• "SAME CARBON, LESS RACY: Giants C2 uses the same formula one composite you'll find in all but the most expensive Giant TCR race frames. But the OCR's geometry differs, with a slacker head angle for more confident steering, longer chainstays for a more compliant ride and a shorter top tube so you sit more upright."
• "QUALITY SPEC: At this price you should not get any generic parts, and Giant delivers, with a full Shimano ULTEGRA DRIVETRAIN (even the brakes), Easton bar and stem, and Mavic wheels."
• "RIGHT DOWN TO THE RUBBER: Giant knows that a plush ride comes only when you soak up the bumps, so the OCR C2 has fatter, 25C Michelin PRO Race tires."
