Strengths: solid frame, Cannondale quality, rideWeaknesses: SoraBottom Line: This is a road bike, NOT a cruiser. In 3 months I've put just over 1,000 miles on the bike with zero problems. I too am a large mountain biker (230lb) who crossed over to roadie this year. This frame does not flex, even under my considerable load. The riding postion is very comfortable, even on rides of 4-5 hours duration. The shifting could be crisper, but this is an entry level bike equipped with entry-level (Sora) components
Favorite Ride: Any ride the sun comes up on
Price Paid:
$800.00

Strengths: Nimble handling
Stiff, strong frame
Great brakes
Fast acceleration
No power loss
Snappy green paintWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: This bike is an awesome set-up for someone who is a serious recreational rider. I do an average of 50-70 miles per week, and I have never had a problem. The bike has a great fit, and the frame has no flex even with my 215 pounds. The handling is superb. Absolutely a great value for an awesome package.
