Strengths:    Light weight, smooth frame welds and awesome paint job.

Weaknesses:    None so far.

Bottom Line:   
I was looking for a high-end hybrid bike, preferably a road bike with flat handlebars. I owned, and enjoyed, an Offroad Climber hybrid bike for 12 years, so I am used to, and prefer, the upright riding position. It was betweeen the Lemond Wayzata, Specialized Sirrus A1 and the Klein Quantum TT, but the quality of the Klein frame did it for me. In addition, the Klein has a better grade of components. This is an awesome bike with great handling and riding characteristics. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a better grade hybrid.

Strengths:    Outstanding frame and fork. Shimano 105 components work well. Unbelievable paint job.

Weaknesses:    The dropouts make rear tire removal and re-insertion very awkward.

Bottom Line:   
I am new to cycling, having purchased a Cannondale trail bike about 2 years ago. I wanted to move to the road experience this year, but my 56 year old body could not adapt to a full road setup. The Quantum TT is exactly what I needed -- full road frame, fork, wheels and components, but a more comfortable upright riding position. I added a suspension seatpost and a Terry Liberator gel saddle. I absolutely love the bike. This is one smooth bike, and the riding position is perfect for me. In addition, the bike is drop-dead gorgeous. The Plum Crazy paint job is immaculate.
