see review Summary:
As a stock bike, decent. With upgrades, it's better. Added Shimano 535 wheels, 105 calipers, 3 TTT stem and bar, Cane Creek headset, Selle Italia Saddle. Bike still weighs in at 21 pounds after spending a grand total of around $1200. It's a tank, but a good training bike. Has served me well, but the no-name factor severely affects resale value, which makes it a good deal for second hand shoppers. If I could do it again, I'd spend a few hundred bucks more and get a 105-equipped Trek or Specialized (for resale value). Strengths:
Good set of base components (105), durable and comfortable frame (Kinesis super light aluminum), solid training bike Weaknesses:
Resale value Similar Products Used:
Specialized Allez, various Bianchi

$0.00 Bike Setup:
I have added Shimano 535 wheels and 105 brake calipers. also a Selle Itell Max Trans Am Saddle. Summary:
The bike is light and strong. The frame is stiff and holds up well to my large size. The 105 components work well. I had to put on 105 brake calipers though as it came with cheapies. Strengths:
Lightness and stiffness of the frame. I got a killer deal on this bike from a bike dealer on the net. Weaknesses:
None so far. Similar Products Used:
Ironhorse Triumph, Trek 1200
