Hi guys, have started getting into road biking, and have got my eyes on a Giant ORC 1 ('08) and a Malvern Star Oppy A2 ('09); both around the same price range.
Both are fully serviced and RTG.
Which ones would you guys prefer/recommend for commuting/road biking?
I know Giants are very reputable bikes, but that the Oppy series is pretty good as well.
Both seem to be pretty decent decent beginner bikes!
Would love your feedback on either/both.

Both will serve you well, can you arrange a test ride for them both ?
One will let you know it's right for you.
