Strengths: Components, frame geometry, color.Weaknesses: Rims (being picky here), cassette and bottom bracket.Bottom Line: This is a really nice, farily light racing bike. The Campy Daytona components are identical to the Centaur group - name changed because of a lawsuit (part of the reason I got such a good deal). They are much easier to shift than Ultegra, and the brake levers are solid, an advantage over the Shimano systems. The frame is stiff, so you can accellerate very well. The Bianchi Levitation rims are a little heavy, and came with an 11-23 rear cassette, which is not ideal for climbing - swapping the 11-23 for a 12-25 or 13-26 should help a lot. Upgrading the rims to some Kyseriums and swapping out the rear cassette and bottom bracket for Record components should get this in the 18lb range or lower. Love the frame, really nice and not at all rough like some of the cheaper aluminum bikes. Great geometry, too.

Strengths: Handling, components, looksWeaknesses: tires, weightBottom Line: This bike is definitely ready to rock! While I'm not the fastest or strongest, this bike really helps me when it's hammertime. Handles like a slotcar, accelerates well, is tiff yet the carbon fork smooths out the bumps.
