Strengths: light weight, Mavic Ksyrium SSC SL wheelset, triple crank Dura-aceWeaknesses: None, really. Would have perfered blue, but bike is still beautiful. Lot's of compliments.Bottom Line: Excellent bike in all aspects! Fast, comfortable for longer rides and perfectly set-up for a larger person (I'm 6'3", 230 lbs). I tried many others, but this really fit the bill, especially for hilly terrain. Highly recommended

Strengths: Dura-Ace gruppo at an extremely good price, great ride, light weightWeaknesses: Possibly the fit system - there is about a 1cm range between seatpost sizes that you can't hit without putting it above the min insert line. 700x28 stock tires don't fit through brake calipers unless deflated.Bottom Line: Great bike with a reasonable comfort level. I purchased this bike shortly after back surgery (derniated disc). I wanted a good, fast road bike without an extreme posture, and this was exactly the right choice. And the price is nearly unbeatable. I could throw away the frame and feel like I got a good deal.
This is basically the same bike as the OCR 0 with a 1cm longer chainstay and slightly taller head tube. Just a fraction more comfort and stability for those of us who realize that we aren't going to win the Tour de France any time soon but still want a high performance road bike that is fast during group rides and comfortable during long rides.
It's great to be able to get top-level parts on a more relaxed frame at a competitive price.
Favorite Ride: Anywhere
Price Paid:
$3000.00
