    Ive got a Giant FCR 2 - can recommend it! Ride it 2-3 times a week, max distance just over 100 miles but usually about 50. Found it to be very reliable so far, pretty comfortable after fitting a shorter steeper stem. I wanted a triple so went for a FCR2, if I needed to buy a flat bar road bike again I would probably buy this one.

    Bump!

    I am almost buying a Merida 880-24.

    I like the FCR 3 but am unsure of the flat bars.

    I looked at the Carrera in Halfords but was a little unsure and the Merida write up is superb!
