Strengths: Light weight Ti frame, QR carbonaero fork. Fast, stiff, and buttery smooth over the bumps.Weaknesses: None signifcant.Bottom Line: Ride all day without feeling stiff. Great bike, no real draw backs, but Merlin no longer makes this frame. Bike shops pay $875 for the frame & fork, so don't pay more than $1,100. Good value for the money. Perfect for triathletes who find Aluminimum too stiff/painful but stiffer than carbon. Frame not "aero" but the tubes are so narrow I doubt it makes any difference below 30 mph. The Merlin welds are scalloped works of art. Whole bike weighs 18.75 lbs. Aloha
