Strengths: Solid build, not to heavy as to hender transporting it. Great on the flats.Weaknesses: Sora components, a bit heavy.Bottom Line: Very good ride for a beginner. Nice feel on the road, handles acceleration well. Nice paint job, easy to spot in a crowd. I have taken this bike all over the world with the Navy and everywhere I went the locals loved the look. I have done up to 60 mile rides with no problems. It holds a line real well in a crowd of riders.
Favorite Ride: Iron Horse Cyclone

$550.00

Bike Setup: Look pedals, Sora components, touring wheel set.

Strengths: This is a very fast bike. The quality is superb and the paint is great looking.Weaknesses: I changed the seat out for a little bit wider seat (Trico) and love the fit.Bottom Line: Great bike, Great price! I was looking for an entry level bike, and everything was in the $800 and up. This is the bike for people on a limited budget. I had a mountain bike stem put on, and the rise is great on casual riding. You still get racing handlebar looks with an upright ride. This is great for people with back problems.

Strengths: Ride quality, drivetrain smoothness, sound level, brakes, aero rims, price!Weaknesses: Flashier than I wanted (oh well) and 52cm is a little too small. The handlebars are a little too low but I'll get used to it. Presta valves (I'm old school).Bottom Line: I can't believe this bike. It makes an amazing first impression. It's an '02 model. I was getting real discouraged about finding a road bike in my price range 'till I found this one. The ride in amazing. It's hard to tell how fast you're going because it's so smooth and quiet. I've never felt the wind rush by quite like that before without the bike making a sound. It'll make me feel much better about going to work. It'll be tough to stop once I get there!

Strengths: fairly light weight, if you want a lighter bike lose body fat. I'm guessing the bike's 25 lbs according to my bathroom scale. It's light enough for us amateur racers.Weaknesses: Hard saddle, bright paint job!! Not bad at all.Bottom Line: Fantastic bike! Great price (450.00), nice Shimano components (Sora) and the triple crank comes in handy(thanks to the dealer). This bike is as silent as a snake and can go from 0 to 35 in just a few seconds...on the right road. I almost bought a new Bianchi Brava but took this instead and absolutely adore it. The seat is a bit trying on long rides but let's face it...it'll hurt down there no matter how expensive the saddle is. I think I found the deal of the century!
