Giant OCR 1 or Specialized Sequoia

[wannaduacentury]

Go for comfort. I've put a shorter stem on my Giant OCR C3 and am quite comfy. But everybody is different.

I was wondering how that stem worked for you SBelle? does it have a rise or is it straight? Was your old one adjustable? (Since we have the same bike pretty much-ocr2) Jennifer

Those were the two I tried and I went with the ocr1. The sequoia was more upright and I wanted more of a racing-type bike. I liked the comfort of the sequoia better though. Also I liked the colour of the ocr1 better

I am only 5-3, 125 lbs so that might make a different. The ocr was a WSD too.

It's a great improvement! Since it's flipped it does have a slight rise. Not adjustable. I will be replacing the bars soon. going a little more compact with them. I happened to have just come from my LBS and my mechanic and I discussed bars. He said even if I didn't buy them there he would set them up for me. Isn't he a sweetie?! & he didn't charge me to adjust my rear derailleur.
