Fast group rides Summary:
Discount price for some 105 components (most importantly the shifters), especially for a new rider. But you will most likely have to upgrade components. You get what you paid for, and at the relatively cheap price, you get crappy alex wheelset, tekno breaks, and a bunch of other less than quality parts. The worst part of the bike is that when you are on the 2 highest gears on the smaller chain ring, the chain rubs against the outer chain ring. If you buy this bike, make sure yours doesn't do that. Also, the seat post is not full carbon but a carbon wrap over aluminum tube, which is fine but just a little fyi. But enough ripping on the bike. Overall, it rides smooth and stiff. Its good for a starter racer but now that I'm more experienced, I'm definitely upgrading the frame/fork, brakes, cranks, wheelset. Strengths:
Cheap
Stiff ride
relatively light: 19lbs Weaknesses:
You might as well spend 3-400 more for a full 105 specialized or cannondale, or get the Felt F75.

Cleveland Metroparks Bike Setup:
Stock with Nashbar Special ATB Clipless Pedals Summary:
This bike is very fast. The steering column is stiff and quick, and the frame is strong. I can accelerate very quickly from a dead standstill and do not have to worry about my balance or feel like I need to push the bike.
The wide handlebar is new for me, and I feel like I have total control at all times. Couple that with the carbon seat post and front fork, and you've got a bike that allows you to concentrate on the ride and the road. Strengths:
- Carbon fiber fork and seat/post
- Shimano Ultegra/105 mix
- Simplicity with the double Weaknesses:
- None yet Similar Products Used:
Considered:
- Specialized Allez
