HEy dudes.. thanks again for all the info on the last thread. A bike has come up, though i have
yet to see it. Its a Giant OCR2 55.5 cm frame (i'm 6 ft is this the right size?) it has tiagra
groupset, 9 gear set i'm told, with spd 's and shoes unused to match. It is meant to be mint and
i am going to view monday. Its a 2001 model i think how much should i expect to pay ?..He is
asking £350.That is all the info i have at the mo..Again forgive my ignorance but i am new to all
this and i appreciate any and all the help you crazy helpful people give. Cheers ....Andy (vwyob)
😄 😄 😄

I suspect that 55.5cm will be on the small size for you but you need to measure your inseam to be
sure. Giant sizing information is available on their website at

That sounds like the 2003 model to me. It was probably first available during 2002. Prior to 2003
they had Sora groupsets and only 24 speeds. See the Giant website.

Sizing is S, M or L. The shoes might not fit you.

My wife has the FCR2 which is the hybrid version and she is thoroughly satisfied with it.

The 55.5cm frame would appear to be Large. I would ask a Giant dealer whether this will fit. You
might need to change the stem to fit.

How do you make that out? On the table on the above site 53 - 59cm corresponds to a Medium.

You're looking at the wrong figure. The 55.5 refers to the 55.5/58.5 in the fourth column and fourth
row. Corresponds to conventional frames from 59 to 63.

4th column 4th row is the Extra Large compact road frame.

55.5-58.5 is the 4th column 3rd row "Large" compact road frame is it not?? Conventional frame size
59-63.

I was counting the header row as a row. It is a row is it not?

I think not it's a header. ;-) People only count rows containing data, but nice save there!
