Strengths: solid (built a bit like a mountain bike, quick uphill, good around corners when you work out howWeaknesses: crap wobbly carbon forks (replaced), comes with cheap finishing kit, especially GT saddles, ouch!
does not like going over about 75kph, at all...Bottom Line: good solid bike, not fantastically light, but has survived airport bagage handlers with only a small loss of paint. nice and stiff, but can be a little unstable on the straight bits of really fast downhills.

Price Paid:
$800.00

Strengths: Pretty responsive and light compared to me. Durable and smooth shifting.Weaknesses: Needs some aerobars with the adaptive shifters and a more saddle, but all that takes money.Bottom Line: I bought my bike from a guy in Charlotte. It is a 54cm and fits me pretty good. Being one of the only road bikes I have ever ridden, I am very pleased with it. The saddle (not factory) is a little uncomfortable, however the frame and fork give a responsive ride. Does great on the hills. Even in the mountains of Boone, I rarely ever use the 3rd and smallest crank. For that reason I would say that the triple chain ring is a bit excessive. I am 195 lbs and 5'11" and the bike supports my weight well.
Favorite Ride: Blue Ridge Parkway at 9:00am any morning
Price Paid:
$800.00
Purchased At: private seller
Bike Setup: 105 with Carbon Fiber fork.
