Strengths: Stiff, but extremely forgiving. Very stable handling.Weaknesses: Hard pressed to find any, unless you fantasize about million dollar welds.Bottom Line: Purchased the Prestige frame separately, with the intent to use it as a back-up/travel bike. After one ride my plans changed! This is one great bike. Stiff and light, but completely forgiving on rough roads. The welds may not represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship, but when you consider the price is 1/3 that of comparable frames the aesthetics are secondary.

Strengths: Smooth, clean and comfortable ride. I ride high mileage and seek bikes that are durable and forgiving to my body. It's not the lightest frame the world has ever seen but if you find yourself getting dropped, train harder. It's not the bike.Weaknesses: haven't found one yetBottom Line: This bike is a bargain. The components and workmanship are as good as that you'll find on bikes priced much higher. There really is nothing more you can do to make this bike much better.

Strengths: This baby is fast, stiff, light and smooth. What else do you need in a road bike?Weaknesses: The only weaknesses are your brain if you have the money and DON't buy this bike!Bottom Line: I love this bike! Take a look at the spec!
You can't get a better bike than this for the price! Dura-Ace with Ultegra brakes/cassette, Mavic Ksyrium wheels, Kinesis butted aluminum/carbon frame, this bike rocks, plain and simple.
