Price Paid:  $700.00 at NIB on RBR classifie

Bike Setup:
I upgraded the crank, BB, front and rear derailleurs, and chain to Dura Ace. sold the original part

Summary:
For the money this bike is about the best you can get. Features including velocity rims, axial pro tires, speedplay pedals.

Strengths:
Price, some nice standard features.

Weaknesses:
Sugino crank with square bolt bb, top tube is quite long as is the head tube (buy one size smaller than usual and you'll be happy you did), bike is quite heavy out of the box, fork is threaded.

Price Paid:  $1100.00 at Colorado Cyclist

Bike Setup:
Mix of 105 with Speedplay pedals and Velocity rims.

Summary:
I really like this bike. I'm new on the Triathlon scene and needed a good starter bike. Couldn't find any other bikes that packed this much value at around $1,100.

Only thing I might add is a carbon fork because the ride is a little stiff over rough roads. Climbs great, and is very fast and comfortable. Colorado Cyclist has been good to work with. My fork came with paint blemish and they were happy to replace it.

Great bike for the money.

Strengths:
Great features for the buck. Very fast and aero.

Weaknesses:
Harsh ride on rough surfaces.
