Default New Giant OCR1

Hi all,

I'm about to put pen to paper on a new Giant OCR1.

I need some advise from my fellow riders.

I weigh a tick under under 120kg at the moment and was wandering if this will cause any issues with the bike.

I've decided to purchase a new bike to shed the kilos and get back to around 95kg.

Any help would be appreicated.

Cheers,

Is this the model with carbon seat stays or the full aluminium model?

The OCRs are a real good buy; don't matter if your 60kg or 120kg

I suggest a Steel Frame Mountain Bike with at least 36 spoke rims and heavy duty hubs. I have recently put a bit back on and am setting up a 24" steel frame K-Mart Huffy MTB with 26" wheels, etc.

I don't now about Giant, but Felt has a max gross weight (bike+rider+load) for all their bikes:
Racing and Tri Bikes, 105kg
Mountain Bikes and Adult BMX, 125kg.
