I see at the giant website that giant is coming out with a ocr all carbon. I was wondering if anybody knows the price of these new bikes ?

I did a quick google search, and found that they start at $1599 for the OCR3 composite, though at least one store has them on sale for less.



I see at the giant website that giant is coming out with a ocr all carbon. I was wondering if anybody knows the price of these new bikes ?

I am trying to decide between the ,05 OCR 2 Triple which I can buy for $1,700 or an ,04 Specialized Roubaix Double for $2,000. Here are the specs. Which is the best bike for the money? Any reason I should avoid one or the other. I need to decide quickly before my LBS sells the last couple of Roubaixs in the store. I'm a newbie. Thanks for the help.
