Malico Posted August 6, 2019 Share Hi Guys which is the better option : Giant OCR 3 with Shimano 105 gearset or Trek Alpha with Shimano Tiagra gearset? Both is allu frames. It is for a begginer road bike rider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Bird Posted August 6, 2019 Share Hi Malico I’d pick the Giant purely based on the better groupset, but what you really need to look at is if it’s the right size for you. Duane_Bosch, Malico and BigDL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertWhitehead Posted August 6, 2019 Share I'm a mtber so cant really comment . But if you stuck a gun to my head and said I needed to decide I would go with the one that I liked the frame of the most . Everything else you can upgrade and change .

Eugene Posted August 6, 2019 Share Depends on the models. The difference seems to be 105 or Tiagra. More recent Tiagra is better than the older 105. There are other things to consider when choosing between the two. Things like price, sizing, overall condition etc. Also OCR has a more relaxed geometry, whereas the trek is more aggressive (assuming this is the 1200 or 1.5). Both are suitable for a beginner.

ChrisF Posted August 6, 2019 Share As said before - FRAME SIZE ! rims and group-sets are upgradable ... Which one would I choose : - SCOTT, then- GIANT, then- Merida / Titan / etc .... PS - and just maybe I should be moving Titan UP that list !! They have been improving their offering a LOT ! ... left that other one of the list, as I still have a bitter taste in my mouth after owning one ....
