Strengths: The bike is very responsive and really soaks up the road without sacrificing speed or feel. A real difference from my steel frame, which will be converted into a city bike.Weaknesses: None.Bottom Line: I bought the Evoke SL frame as an upgrade to my steel frame, and built it up with some new components. I have taken it on a number of 30 and 50 mile rides and it handles like a dream. Light, smooth and responsive.
Favorite Ride: county back roads

$639.00
Purchased At: BC Multisport
Bike Setup: Ultegra brakes, shifters and derailleurs, SRAM Force carbon crankset and Speedplay Zero pedals. MOST Duel wheelset.

Strengths: Light, cheap, smooth, fast.Weaknesses: Wheels and seat. I would think the Mavic wheels would be great, but they suck.Bottom Line: I've had this bike for a little while now. I did a double century right out of the box and I've done a number of 100+ training rides. I LOVE this bike, but there are a few problems. The seat is crap. The cushion goes flat and gets really uncomfortable. The Ksyrium wheels are really flexy and give a lot of brake rub. I tried my Neuvation r28's and they work MUCH better. The ride is really nice, and it's light. I put on Ultegra peddles and the whole bike seems like a tight package. I don't think I'll ride my titanium bike much more. I didn't think a frame can help you climb any better, but the truth is that it does.

Strengths: Fast, Stiff, comfortable.Weaknesses: None.Bottom Line: I bought the bike in May of 2008 and purposely waited over a year to write a review so that it was meaningful. The result? This bike has performed very well over the 1,500 miles I have put on it. It is very responsive and doesn't waste any part of your pedal stroke. Climbing is actually fun and it handles great on the downhills. I have not noticed any weaknesses with this frame.

Strengths: very stiff, very lightweight 16.2 lbs out of the box, great components, great look and feelWeaknesses: saddle so far is a little hard for me and the rear deraileur lug is a little softBottom Line: I bought this bike on Ebay at a very good price, it fits me perfect. The bike looks great and feels very strong. When I ride uphill the bike accelerates, it uses every bit of energy to propel forward. It is a great riding bike, the Sram components are the best.
