Hello,
I just registered to the forum because i figured i could get a lot of good advice from more experienced riders here on the forum.
A little information about me:
I am a 22 year old male who stands about 5'11" and weighs 215 lbs.
I have always wanted to get into road bikes but have never gotten around to it.
I am interested in riding because i think it looks like a fun sport and plus it will hopefully help me shed some poundage =p
Now for the bad part...
I am overwhelmed by the price of entry level bikes so i have been looking around on craigslist in my area and I think I may have found a decent bike for a decent price but i thought i would check with some people "in the know" to get their opinion.
"2005 Giant OCR2 Road Bike, size "LARGE" (should fit from 5-10 to 6-3) with Shimano 105 Drivetrain, Tiagra Shifters, carbon seatpost and carbon fork. Newly installed FSA triple Crank (53/42/34) and rear cassette, new cables and housings, and chain. Wheel set (xero's) included, but not pedals or computer. Few normal wear and tear scratches on chainstays and top tube. Please email me directly for more information, pictures, or if you are interested.
Asking Price: $350"
Any information you guys could give me on this bike would be fantastic.
