Default Normal road bike vs flat bar road bike

I've got a flat bar road bike Giant CRX3 and am considering going to a race bike, either a Giant OCR2w or maybe a OCR Alliance Sport W.
I'm not racing, just recreational. Is it worth making the change? More comfortable? Faster? Gear change easier?
Thanks for your input. Sam

Default Re: Normal road bike vs flat bar road bike

I bought a TCR Comp 0 last year. Great bike for long rides on the weekend. I have just purchased a CRX 1 for my daily commute. I do about 55Km's a day. So far, the CRX has done the trick.

The CRX is a good alternative to those that don't feel quite comfortable on the drop bars.

I hope this helps
