Giant OCR 2nd hand - worth a punt?

[SirDickieBird]

Hello again,

As per title really - seen a Giant OCR on eBay which looks very tidy and so does the seller.

What's the going rate for one used?

And are they any good?

Thanks

Link?

Depends on what model, age and condition.
As @vickster says a link would be good.

Can't help you with the seller but any second hand bike needs checking over very carefully. Could be a bargain or a money pit. You could buy unseen but as Dirty Harry says 'Do you feel lucky?'

Maybe we can comment further after you've posted a link.

Thank you

My comments above still apply. Looks OK but you won't know until you've had a good look at it. Not much info in the ad.

Thank you

Thats a clean and tidy example for sure ask if you can take it for a test ride before you bid

And see what it rides like then make a decision

@SirDickieBird seems to have 'upped stumps' on this thread.

Or he 'won' the bike on eBay for £215 and is out riding in the sunshine

If he's is I'm more than happy for him. Just would have been nice to have an update or dare I say a 'thank you'. Its just not cricket.
