Strengths: Steel frame, Carbon fiber fork, good wheel set and screaming yellow collor.Weaknesses: stiff uncomfortable saddleBottom Line: As others have said, it's a great bike for the price. I like the steel is real ride that the bike gives, small bumps are no problem. 1 1/8" threadless steer tube carbon fiber fork and decent wheel set, not bad. I was going to upgrade the Shimano Sora componets, but you know what? They works just fine, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Upgrade the saddle instead, otherwise it's a very good beginner or get in shape bike! Until your ready for the Tour de France.
Favorite Ride: where ever cars won't kill me

Strengths: PRICE!! Steel frame and no fuss no muss ride.Weaknesses: Not a good bike for long rides if you are a taller rider.Bottom Line: I got the bike as a trainer for mountain biking, it became my commuter bike after a thief got my old man bike.Overall, it was a good bike. I am a tall 200+ rider and I found the geometry a little cramped.

Strengths: This bicycle has a carbon fork and its the only one I found in this price range. The steel frame absorbs road vibration very well. I ride it everyday and I have not experienced any pain or discomfort. If you're looking to get the biggest bang for your budget, this is the one.Weaknesses: Paint colors and style. If you're into something "flashy" or a bike with a lot of detail then you will be disappointed. But if that's not a priorty then this is the bike for you. I also would upgrade the saddle.Bottom Line: I'm returning to road bicycling after many years. I was looking for a good quality bicycle to ride for fitness and occasional race/time trial. I test road many different make/models. I found the Flite 500 to be the best overall value for my needs. I definitely recommend this one for someone who is a novice racer or someone wanting to get serious exercise.
