Strengths: Comfort and solid feel on the bike.Weaknesses: Not as quick as carbon or aluminum. I can hit a better top speed on my Kestrel 500sci.Bottom Line: The bike is a great ride because it is comfortable for long rides. Good for short rides too. Really one of the nicest steel frames I've ridden. Did the Houston to Austin MS-150 with it and the Classique performed like a dream. Not as super responsive as aluminum or carbon. Haven't owned a Titanium so I can't comment. Good all around bike.
Favorite Ride: Early morning New England in the Fall.
Price Paid:
$1000.00

Strengths: Excellent craftmanship. Great service from dealer.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Mine is a Classique Titanium. Although I didn't have it custom-fitted, it happened to fit me very well. I have no back pain after hours of riding. In two years, I've put >14,000 miles on the frame through thick and thin, ice, snow, off road, hailstorms, city streets, gravel roads, Blue Ridge Parkway, and everything in between. I will never need another road bike.

Strengths: Solid, smooth design. Beautiful craftsmanship. 853 steel gives it a truly smooth ride, but it's fast too. It's a gorgeous bike!Weaknesses: Not as fast or smooth as carbon.Bottom Line: The finest bicycle I've owned! It's so beautifully built that I almost don't want to ride it- I want to look at it! But once I get on, it's like I'm a whole new rider. It's smooth, fast and responsive.

Strengths: Stiff of the bottom bracket, but very forgiving ride, light weight and great colors!Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: The feel of 853 Steel, stiff where needed and forgiving where wanted, you can't be the spring of a steel ride. For the money 853 is really the best material for a bicycle. The bike soaks up the bumps, climbs like a rocket and is incredibly stable on the down hills.
Favorite Ride: Tour De Palouse
