Strengths: with a little bit of time and love, this bike can really lighten up and be great for racing, mine is down to 20lbsWeaknesses: doesn't come small enough, with original wheels is very heavy, 23lbsBottom Line: Great bike at cheap price. Bike snobs think the disk breaks are cool, but they weigh a lot. You can really throw this bike around and not worry about hurting it, great fun on technical downhills.

Strengths: Great looks. Light weight, even better with a carbon fork. Easy to carry on my shoulder. Fun bike.Weaknesses: The geometry takes a bit to get used to and it feels a bit twitchy at low speeds (8-10 mph). I have it set up the same way as my road bike, so I can really notice the difference. I did put wider bars on this than my road bike, and sometimes I feel like I have to steer the bike rather than have it steer itself in the corners.Bottom Line: This is a great looking bike. It is light and tough. I raced with it for one whole season so far and I am pleased. I have it set up with campy 8 speed chorus, fsa 175 cranks and race with spingery rev x's. I was surprised at the quality especially at the price I paid.

Strengths: light weight, stable handling, tough paint, stiff in the sprints.Weaknesses: A little bit hard to get the rear wheel in & out in a hurry.Bottom Line: Nice light cyclocross ride. Handles really well in the sandy stuff. Fits over my shoulder nicely for portage. Surprisingly tough paint job. Frame resists dents well. Too bad they stopped making this bike after 2001.
