Strengths: Very comfortable. I have bikes that cost much more, but this is the one that I just jump on and ride.
Weaknesses: No weaknesses really, as I said I have ridden it for almost 10 years with minimum maintenance.Bottom Line: This is a bike that I have ridden for almost 10 years now. I have other bikes - a flite 1000 and mountain bikes amongst others. Still it remains my favourite bike. In all this time I have replaced the saddle and tires of course and one chain. That is all.
Favorite Ride: flite 300
Price Paid:
$300.00
Purchased At: It was online - some

from Date Reviewed: October 23, 2003
Strengths: Strong comfortable durable frame, great intro components, and strong wheels (2000 rough miles, no truing needed!!), Very good intro bike for easy Sat morning rides, club rides, touring, or even triathlons.Weaknesses: Heavy wheels. Bike heavy for serious racers or riders. Would like a lighter bike for tri's, but I'll lose a couple pounds. The rider makes you fast, not the bike. I hang with the group at 21 mph.Bottom Line: First road bike and I found it an amazing deal (even after seeing lots of other peoples pricey bikes). Strong frame, wheels, and Sora components, great ride for the price. Saddle not bad, but after 3500 miles, time to upgrade. I've turned it into a great all round ride for both long distance rides and triathlons. An aluminum frame might climb better, but the steel is much better for the rough roads around rural Mississippi.
Favorite Ride: local hilly National Military Park
Price Paid:
$499.00
Purchased At: LBS
Similar Products Used: none
Bike Setup: Upgraded to Ultegra drivetrain and Gipiemme Grecal Parade wheels.

Strengths: Great frame.
Sora is a good value.Weaknesses: Seat is not that great.
Heavy wheels.Bottom Line: The bike is a great starter. Quality Reynolds frame and the Sora is a good value. The wheels are not that nice, but I have been able to keep up in some pretty fast packs. It is just below raceable quality, however. Consider going up to a better model if you intend to do some serious racing.
Favorite Ride: Black Moshannon, PA
Price Paid:
$425.00
Purchased At: bikeswholesale.com
Bike Setup: Stock, with look pedals.
