Price Paid:  $1995.00 at Colorado Cyclist

Model Year:
2007

Favorite Ride:
CMR

Bike Setup:
Full Dura Ace with Ultegra 6600 pedals

Summary:
It is actually the 2008 and it is a great bike. I tried numerous other carbon bikes in the $2000 price range. I was unable to find any that had the same stiffness in the frame and Dura Ace components. The bike flat out flies when who hammer on it. The only thing is the seat sucks and needs to be replaced right away. I ordered the bike and it was at my residence in 7 days and took about 10 minutes to put together. Best bike I have ridden

Strengths:
Components are the best and the frame rocks.

Weaknesses:
Saddle sucks and needs to be replaced right away. The wheels could be better but when compared to other $2000 bikes they are way better.

Similar Products Used:
Trek 1000, Trek 5000, Giant OCR, and Specialized Allez Expert.

Price Paid:  $1599.00 at Colorado Cyclist

Model Year:
2006

Bike Setup:
Selle Italia Flite Gel Flow saddle. Ultegra components. Easton circuit wheels

Summary:
One of the best all around values I've ridden. I have no complaints about the ride. Awesome road dampening while maintaining good energy transfer. Because I live in Colorado Springs I was able to get a custom fitting and swap out the saddle and stem to get the best riding position. When I broke the seat clamp due to over torquing, they fitted me with a new one while I waited for free. The bike comes ready to race. I found the saddle uncomfortable after 200 miles of riding and swapped it out. You'd be hard pressed to find another carbon bike at 16.7 lbs with these components for the price.

Strengths:
Everything but the saddle

Weaknesses:
saddle
