I bought it from Performance Bikes in Vienna, VA and got a great year end model deal! After a few trips back to the bike shop for adjustments I really love the bike. It replaced my 6 year old Giant OCR1 aluminum frame bike with triple crank. One thing I had to do was have them replace the 11-25 rear casette with a 12-27 Ultegra cassette, so I could better handle the steeper hills. The only problem I have with the bike is the Shimano 105 shifters. They're manufactured to work with both double and triple cranks so with the CCR2's double crank the shift from the small ring to the large ring is a long throw. I'm considering replacing it with an Ultegrta shifter designed only for a double crank. Other than that the bike is a joy to ride. It has a much firmer, tight, stiffer and smoother feel than the Giant OCR1 mostly because of the carbon vs aluminum frame I'm sure, plus my Giant now has over 10,000 miles on it.
