Summary:
I really don't have much experience with other bikes since I am a recreational rider but have ridden about 2500miles this year.This bikes handling is good and it's very light and comfotable.I also liked the fact that people seems to be wowed by the fact that it is a litespeed and for a recereational rider,It's quite impressive.

Strengths:
The Geometry and the artsy design of the bike besides the fact that it is TI/CARBON/ALUM combo

Weaknesses:
Perhaps it can use a better parts than just the standard ultegras.I had mine built with the Dura-ace7800

Summary:
I love this bike. I searched for a good 6 months before deciding on this bike. I bought it NEW from a division of Lightspeed, preownedbikes, and got a hell of a deal. Stiff, responsive, no flex, and the carbon rides great. I would recommend this bike to anyone looking for a sub $2500 ride.

Strengths:
Litespeed for under $1500, FAST, NOT a harsh ride for aluminum, sweet paint job, good geometry.

Weaknesses:
NONE so far except the Selle Nitrox saddle that they put on the thing. Numb the whole day after a ride.
