Strengths:    A good bike for the price. Not so heavy. Really god tire (I never had a flat). Good rear changer. excellent shifter.

Weaknesses:    bad front changer
the brakes are really hard to adjust

Bottom Line:

A good bike. I have made more then 3000 km with it without having a major problem, and maybe 2 minor problems.
It's not a race bike, but to do 200 km in one shut it is good.
It's not a bike for beginner. But I'm sure you can find better for advenced cyclist.
