Strengths: Light weight, Rigidity, Good Looks and over all performance.Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: This bike is by far the best i have ever ridden with its carbon stays and fork making it smooth as silk. The alloy frame's stiffness allows you to stomp on the pedals and sprint like a pro.
Favorite Ride: coastal cycle way newcastle to belmont nsw
Price Paid:
$1000.00
Purchased At: Maurice Mathe Cycles
Similar Products Used: 2010 Specialized tarmac but the Alpe de Huez is preferred

Strengths: Light and agile. Once fitted correctly, moulds to riders positioning. Quick. Solid feel feel evn though very light. Finish is immaculate. Mine is the 'tarditional' Wiler colour copper top section and black with red and white highlights.Weaknesses: Lightness. Slightly stiff on rough roads.Bottom Line: I've ridden a few bikes in my time, but this bike outshines all in terms of 'bang for your buck'. Like a sportscar it sits squatted ready to take off. Tokk a little getting used to but now love it. Great climber and even better on the way down. An Italian classic!

Strengths: Responsive,Comfort,looks and qualityWeaknesses: Paint on cabling gets worn if you don't keep replacing with stick on clear pads .Sometimes a little to light ,like on very windy days Would like to have had 31.8 bar instead of 26,of course you could change it.Bottom Line: Great handling,very little flex for such a
light bike.Very well built.Great looks love the red yellow combo with rest of bike black and carbon parts.Even though carbon,aluminum combo,does not feel the bumps.Geometry is great,mine has sloped bar and accelerates like a rocket better than my brand new racing bike.Cant
go wrong for the money.Excellent race training Bike.

Strengths: Beautiful look, red/yellow and carbon galore. Solid machine and a good value for an aluminum/carbon frame and all carbon fork with Chorus. Not seen every day of the week. Awesome dealer support. Italian cache.Weaknesses: I have read complaints of the cable routing rubbing paint. Rubber cable guides installed over the housing came on my bike, so no problem. The paint, although gorgeous, is not very durable. Lots of chips on fork and actually rubbed off of the bottom of the top tube after carrying on a trailer hitch Thule rack...this never happened to any of my mountain bikes!!! Soft clear coat or something. I have not had a problem with the integrated headset; however, I'd prefer an external Chris King.Bottom Line: I bought my AdH about 9 months ago and have put ~ 2,500 miles on it. It climbs great in the mountains and doesn't shimmy on the descents. I've touched 55 mph and felt very comfortable in the saddle. The alu/carbon combination is very comfortable, but I haven't ridden too many other machines for long distances so can't really make a fair comparison.
Favorite Ride: Long rides in the North Georgia mountains
Price Paid:
$2600.00
Purchased At: Atlanta Cycling
Similar Products Used: My first road bike since my steel Viner in the early '80's. I'm test riding an Izoard and Lampre team bike in the next couple weeks...always room for a new bike!
Bike Setup: FSA Team crank & BB, Campy Chorus derailleurs and cassette w/record carbon shifters, Selcof carbon post, Selle Italia Trans Am TI saddle, Deda Newton bars & stem, Ksyrium SSC SL's, Look 396 pedals.
