I love riding this bike, it's stiff (I'm around 210), but the frame does not beat you up. You still feel the road, but you don't get the 'buzz' of an AL frame. To top it off I got an unbelievable deal from RealityBikes. Best bike purchase I've ever made. I'm sure this is not the last road bike I will buy, but it is the one that I plan on keeping. This is one sweet bike ! Strengths: The bike is smooth, stiff, very well balanced. Honest weight with full DuraAce, Open pro's and Look pedals is just under 20 pounds (56cm).
