Strengths: Great ride quality. Handles extremely well. Comfortable. Light. Looks fantastic!Weaknesses: None that I've found.Bottom Line: I bought the frame and built it up using Campagnolo components. Great ride quality. Handles extremely well. Comfort of steel and about as light as aluminum. This is a fantastic bike and one which will remain in my collection.

Strengths: Smooth, light, stiff bottom bracket shell with great power transfer.Weaknesses: 1 inch headset sacrifices some front end stiffness, steel frames eventually need to be repaintedBottom Line: This bike has been my main training bike for the past two years. It has been reliable and solid and has provided me with a great ride. The paint is starting to get beat up and there are a couple of small spots of rust -- I was going to trade it in for a different, higher end, frame, but couldn't find anything that had the same combination of smoothe ride and tight snap on climbs and accelerations. I decided to spend my money to have it repainted instead.

Strengths: Great all-around bike. Weighed in at just under 18 lbs with seat, peddles, cages and computer. Not bad for steel!Weaknesses: None that I can identify.Bottom Line: Price was for frame, fork and seatpost. Great value for the quality of this bike. Just completed my first 1,000 miles on the 2004 SuperProdigy ending with back-to-back Centuries this past weekend. Fast, very comfortable and solid. On the trainer this winter I immediately noticed that the BB was much stiffer than my previous ride (Lemond). Bike is stable through corners and incredibly confident on fast (40 mph+) descents. Combination of Columbus steel tubing + Muscle carbon/ti fork is great.

Strengths: Smooth ride, lively steel feel, great looks.Weaknesses: BB Stiffness, weight. Excellent for a steel bike, but not as good as high-end aluminum. The minimalist white finish looks great but the paint is fragile.Bottom Line: I have been riding and racing this bike for two years. The frame is light for steel and mighty smooth, perfect for long training rides. Climbs ok, descends superbly. The new aluminum bike I'm now racing is noticably stiffer when sprinting and cresting hills out of the saddle, but I'll continue to train on the Cervelo since the steel feels so much better.
Purchased At: Gateway Cycles, Port
Bike Setup: Dura Ace 9, Ksyrium wheelset, Richely WCS bars and stem, stock Cervelo aero fork.

Strengths: Bottom bracket stiffness, ride quality,appearance,value,Spinergy wheels (haven't had to adjust trueness since initial tuning).Weaknesses: Paint chips easily, took awhile to adjust cockpit to fit. Stock Saddle killed my butt.Bottom Line: I've had the bike for 2 years, still enjoying it. The ride is considerably smoother than my older Klein, with no sacrifice in bottom bracket stiffness. I recently rode the Ride For The Roses century in Austin and the bike performed flawlessly.
