Strengths:    It shifts well, has relaxed geometry, good tires (fairly narrow, but are supposed to be reliable...it is a touring bike afterall), and a suspension seat post to soaks up the bigger bumps. Its a very solid feeling bike.

Weaknesses:    The seat is a little uncomfortable (though I've only had the bike a few days, and its not even broken in yet)

Bottom Line:   
I bought this bike bike to replace my crumby old CCM, which was really uncomfortable and was wrecking my knees. Basically I wanted a road racing bike, but decided to get something a little more comfortable, that had proper fender clearance and braze-ons. This bike has everything I needed and even a suspension seat post. Its still pretty light, and I think its fast, but I know a true road racer is faster. I am very happy with the bike so far, and will perhaps write a follow up review in a few months when I have put some more milage on it.

Bike Setup:   Everything is stock, but I added some cheap canadian tire fenders that I had laying around (helpful
