Date Reviewed: July 3, 2003

Strengths:    This bike is light and fast and is a joy to ride. I have a very long torso and the slightly more upright riding position feels very natural.

Weaknesses:    The Continental Tires averaged a flat every 20 miles both front and back. I replaced them with Kevlar-end of problem. The Campagnola components are adequate, although I think Ultegra would have been better.

Bottom Line:   
This bike was designed for riders who want a comfortable ride and who are willing to sacrafice a little speed for a very natural riding position. I looked at a lot of bikes and the frame geometry of this bike is superb. Most of the riders who buy this bike will be older riders who put in a lot of miles. I road this on a century and had no problems. I am 6'2" and have the large frame which is a perfect fit.
