Strengths: Frame, ability to take 28mm tyres. Love the color ( white and red)Weaknesses: wheels. I sold the rolf vectors after one ride and have mavic cxp33 32 hole. much better. Seat is noisy. those things on the rear dropouts...Dangeouse!Bottom Line: I thought I would write a review as I'm really happy with the bike. The geometry relly suit me, relaxed but still able to transfer power efficiantly. I've had a lot of roadbikes. None as good as this

Strengths: Steel. High quality at a reasonable price.Weaknesses: Color scheme (white with red) is not prefereable but it's eye catching. Came with Ritchey pedals which are terrible.Bottom Line: Great bike so far, bot used but saved a ton. Still winter here so not a lot of chances to get out. Very light but solid feel. Comfortable geometry. I will own this for a while. Might buy one for my wife also.

Strengths: Great Geometry! Comes with a sweet Shimano group. Plush ride and very responsive around the corners.Weaknesses: Weak stem and bars, Saddle!Bottom Line: Sweet ride for the money! My first road bike and I'm sure I'll be with this one for a while! I'm very fortunate that this one fit me perfectly because I never got fitted. I've got to say that I'm very happy that I bought this steed. I have not had any complaints about it at all. I recommend this bike for those who don't have alot of time to waste trying out different bikes but, want a quality product. I think this bike is for someone who appreciates great geometry. Steel is great for the weekend warrior!

Strengths: Light, quick, comfortableWeaknesses: Paint job, standard componentryBottom Line: After 2 years, I still like this bike. I race on it, train on it (after the salt disappears off the roads). I wanted a custom steel frame but was convinced that for $650, I could get the same thing with carbon fork off the rack. So I did. I ride campi, but wanted Mavic Heliums, so there was some cassette remodelling.
As others have stated, the paint-job sucks - I have rust on the cable guides, and under the rear-brake cable as it crosses the seat tube after 2 summers (the bike doesn't see the winters). For the price, I figured you couldn't do better if you want steel. I am not light (170#) but the ride is always comfortable and the geometry is perfect for me. The setup weighs under 18#, light enough for most racers. Just avoid the ROlfs and get some good wheels.
I think the bike is good enough to be more than a training bike.

Strengths: Great value, good components, 853 Steel frame, very smoooothWeaknesses: none.Bottom Line: I bought this bike about three months ago and it had only been ridden twice. I've road about 400 miles on it and no problem at all. I am a pretty big guy for a rider (6.1 215) and this bike is perfect. Its smooth, fast, and has just a great all-around value. Some complain about the weight, but I can't because I have 20 lbs to lose, and thats what will help up the hills, besides, no matter how light the bike, somebody still has to pedal it. I give this 5 stars for value and overall rating. If you get a chance buy this bike, it's awesome and well worth your money.
