Subject: Giant OCR Zero with Campagnolo equip?
I've been looking seriously at the Giant bikes for my first "real" competition bike, and saw a 2004 OCR Zero, which I couldn't find much info about.
The components are all Campagnolo New Mirage, instead of the Shimano equipment I'm more familiar about, and I'm not sure how the different Camp levels equate to Shimano.

Any feedback on the OCR Zero and/or Campagnolo equip?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure mirage is the lowest quality campagnolo component, like sora is for shimano; however I am far from an expert in this area.

Yes, Mirage is Campy's entry-level gruppo. If you believe the Campy snobs, their components are slightly better than Shimano's, so that Mirage would be between Sora and Tiagra, still decidedly entry-level.

This article has a ranking and a brief description of both Shimano and Campy component groups:
