Price Paid:  $0.00 at CBike.com

Bike Setup:
All Dura Ace. Variety of wheels.

Summary:
Replaced my compact alu (TCR 0) w/ the Merckx. Good deal, good price. Set up w/ Dura Ace. Absolute beauty. Craftsmanship is exceptional. Ride is very very nice, esp on climbs and over crap road conditions. Ovalized downtube, no flex even in a sprint. Bike tracks like it's on rails. Super confident booster when blazing downhill. Just a super nice all rounder - crits/RR.

Strengths:
High end materials, construction and of course the Merckx century geometry. Comfort of ride is very obvious esp. when tranistioning from an alu.

Weaknesses:
Cheesy crap downtube graphics. Mine were not really even lined up evenly. But then, that's really not the point. It's Ti and it's a Merckx! Lifetime ride!

Price Paid:  $0.00

Bike Setup:
Ouzo Pro, Record 10, 3T Zepp and Prima, Neutron, Pro Race, Alien Carbon, Flite

Summary:
Review is for 02 Majestic. I've ridden road/mountain for 20 years. I'm 5'9"/175lbs and have put only 150 miles in 3 weeks. In my limited experience I've found the frame to be very comfortable over a variety of terrains and very responsive. OS down tube and seat tube are ovalized at the BB and result in no noticeable flex during hard out of saddle efforts.

Strengths:
Very comfortable and versatile for longer rides. Traditional lines, beautiful finish and clean welds (built by Litespeed).

Weaknesses:
Minor...location of derailleur and rear brake cable stops. Cheesy decals. Can get comparably spec'd and lighter bikes for same price or less but you get beauty/ride of Ti and Merckx geometry.
