Strengths: Price, components, weight.Weaknesses: none yet, I'm sure there won't be any either.Bottom Line: This is my first road bike of any sort. I'm mainly a MTB rider but wanted to be able to keep up with my friends on the road. I compared this bike to a Cannondale but for the same price the Raleigh was a much better buy.
My only concern riding a road bike was the fact that I'm 265lbs, but this bike seems to be holding up very well. As long as I keep riding it I know the pounds will come off.
Favorite Ride: anything that gets me on the road
Price Paid:
$1300.00
Purchased At: Bicycle One, Gahanna
Similar Products Used: None...Own a Giant MTB
Bike Setup: Bone Stock...May change seat in the near future.

Strengths: components, price, looks, light, unique on the streetsWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: This bike is my first road bike. To date, i have been pushing a mountain bike around the streets. Finally, i had enough and made the purchase.
B/c i am so new to the road bike, i am prob. not the best to comment on it's performance...other than to say, it has totally exceeded my expectations.
I performed an above average amount of research before i purchased and was terrible excited to find this bike. From what i can tell, raleigh has the best value point in this market. they appear to care less about advanced commercialization of their products and more about selling awesome bikes for a good price. That by itself encouraged me to buy this bike. However, when you review it's specs, they stand on their own.
I look forward to riding this road bike in two weeks for my next tri and shaving off blocks of minutes from my time.
I have the opposite of buyers remorse...i think i got the best deal out there....and it looks really cool too.
Favorite Ride: any ride

Strengths: Weigth, what you get for the $$$Weaknesses: None so far. The seat is great and very ligth weigth, but it takes some time to get use to it.Bottom Line: AWESOME bike. The best you can get for the money. Big improvement on shifting from my old 105 to this new Ultegra's.
The bike feels strong and it definetly turns heads. The combination of the colors Black, Yellow and Red is great and the fact that the welding is "masked" makes it look like the super $$$$ Trek's make on one piece only.
I'm very happy with this bike.
