Price Paid:  $3500.00 at Eddy's Bike Shop (St

Favorite Ride:
Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Bike Setup:
Campy Record, Spinergy Xaero wheels, Deda stem and bars, Thompson seatpost, Cane Creek integrated headset, and Selle Italia saddle.

Summary:
Excellent all around bike with laid back "Tour Geometry". Very similar to my Lemond when decending. Dazzles the climbs and rocks on the flats. Able to ride it all day due to comfort and shock absorbtion of carbon. Not a crit bike but great for road racing and training rides!

Strengths:
Very lightweight Aluminum and Titanium / Carbon Fiber frame. Very stiff BB, sprints well. Comfortable shock absorbing frame due to the carbon rear stays and the carbon fork. Opted for the Spinergy Xaero wheelset which is wicked as well!

Weaknesses:
Hard to explain to friends why you did not go full Ti.

Similar Products Used:
