Good allround bike. I rode one for about 9 months and had no problems. Comes with a Sora groupset. The frame is Alu which makes it an OK buy for a start out bike (found it the same as a friends Giant OCR 3). I did experience problems with the rims though (I weighed 98kg at the time), but after replacing the rims, no problem.

Thanks for that, I am about 82 - 83 kgs, what sort of problems with the rims and tell me the gear indicator on the gear shift cables, does it work or is it just a gimmick?
