Price Paid:  $2000.00 at Local bike shop

Favorite Ride:
Texas bike ride for the family, a 244 mile, 3 day ride from Houston to Dallas

Bike Setup:
Shimano Ultegra components

Summary:
The Volans is a steel frame, I compared it against similar alluminum bikes in the same price range and found not only the Carrera had a smoother ride but its handling and responding to jumping on the pedals is very good

Strengths:
Less vibration over rough roads, paint and finish of the bike is exceptional. Climbing hills I find I rarely have to get out of the saddle unless %grade is above 10%

Weaknesses:
No real weakness in the 5,000+ miles I have put on this bike.

Similar Products Used:
Specialized Allez
