Strengths:    Acceleration is terrific, high and moderate speed cornering is superb. Handles extremely well. Designed perfectly for cross-top routed cables and a high BB.

Weaknesses:    Low speed cornering can be a problem if you're pedaling-pedal/wheel clearance is small (or nonexistent if you have big feet) if the wheel is turned.

Bottom Line:   
This is an exceptional cyclocross racing bike with a great value/performance ratio. It's my second cross bike (prior was a custom steel), and it's provided great performance for me. It's my favorite bike to ride and race (though it gets tiring for more than 2 hours-frame is very stiff). I bought the bike with less than 300 miles on it and replaced all of the components.
