Summary:
I actually have a Carbon Lex so this is not quite a review.

In any case, my carbon lex developed a small crack in the frame at the end of the first season or riding.

I am happy to report that Fondriest stands behind their warranty and replaced my frame no questions asked. It took a little while to hear from them but Will at Peloton Sports was very patient and easy to deal with (even when I wasn't!)

Cant say enough about the bike and the company. The extra dollars you pay for a Fondriest are worth it.

Price Paid:  $2000.00 at ATA Cycle Boston

Bike Setup:
Domina Carbon frame, FSA carbon bars, stem and seatpost, FSA carbon compact cranks, Ultegra 9 spd, Topolino wheels and Open Corsa tires.

Summary:
This frame is amazing. I have now ridden it about 3,000 miles and I'm often still amazed. It is quite stiff for a carbon frame, actually similar to my previous Cannondale, except the BB is stiffer. Compared to other carbon bikes I tested it is much stiffer, but still smooths the buzz of chip seal and rough roads. I'm an older rider and one of the reasons I went to carbon, over my aluminum Canondale was comfort and to help keep up with my 20 something kids. I have not been disappointed!

Strengths:
Stiff, reduces road buzz substantially and smooths jolts. Climbs better than I can, reasonably priced for a carbon frame, and light.

Weaknesses:
NONE
