※ 引述《Mjolnyr (Francis Jan)》之銘言： don't know why, i think it's sorry for N... : It's needless to worry about defects and problems, because it's a mature : design. In fact, CRX1 is based on Giant's former OCR-Touring (2004~2005), : with some minor changes. Both of them consist of road bike frame and : mechanical disk brakes with MTB hub set. : The major differences between CRX1 and OCRT are: : Obviously Tiagra is better than Elita. 2-piece design provides greater : stiffness and less power-loss when pedalling. : PowerSpline is a Truvativ property specification, and it's relatively : rare. A rare part may cause more troubles when part replacement is needed. : (for example... bottom bracket failure by rust) : : Any things I should pay a special attention when buying? : : I saw it has a package pprice with bags.. How about those bags? good? : Just fair. With okay quality and not much different from others. : : Any bike shop suggestion to get both a good service and price? : : Theoretically, "good service" and "good price" are controversal. Actually, "good service" and "good price" are not always controversal, especially if the shops "dare" share all information about this feild with customers honsetly but try hard to suck buyers' pocket and do the brain-washing by all kinds of commericals. : You have to evaluate how much you need bike shop service. If most : adjustment and maintenace could be done on your own, good price favors. : Otherwise, go to find a shop with good service rather than discounts. : And my personal recommendation: : If price is a major concern, go for OCRT. Old models could be sold in : lower price. It's somehow old, but still good enough (especially the good : wheelset) comparing with latest touring bikes. Obviously, I am not like someone who works for bike-shops. What "i" am doing is just let you know that you pay the price you deserve espeically in the place like Taiwan and the feild like the bike. If you are reaching a certain model of bikes, try to ask several different shops and cut the price within 10-20% off to the owner(remerber, not clerks). At least, don't let the owners think you are a typical uncle sam with truthly deep pocket. To the shops with Gaint signboard, you msut keep that in mind. Good D[ai]y and hope you get your ideal ride soon! ~^_^ --
