    I"ve been riding a Trek 2100  "56" for the last 3 years. I'm ready to get a new ride and I'm looking at the Trek Madone 5.2 performance , Giant OCR-C1 or the Scott CR1Team. I'm 50 years old 5'11" and 225#. I'm averaging about 100 miles a week at 18mph here in phoenix. I'm riding to keep in shape and maybe do a century or two each year. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

    wow, tough choice, those are all awesome bikes!  I own an OCR and have looked into the Scott many times... I'm actually going to be looking into the 2009 Specialized Robaix- I here they re-mapped this bike for 09' and it is now a bike that rides more comfortably (for the century days) yet still offers the same performance traits as more aggresive bikes... from what i gather either you love specialized, or hate them - my buddy hated them, demo'd this bike and fell in love - bicycling magazine wrote an article on it in my last issue and chose it as the editors pick...

    good luck, i hope i've helped in some way

    Thanks for your input. I've decided on the Scott. Price was the determining factor for.me. All three bikes are good bikes, the Madone and the OCR were priced out to me at around $3,000. The Scott CR1 team is on sale for under $2,000. I can change out wheels and tires and still come out ahead.
