Price Paid:  $1800.00 at internet

Model Year:
2006

Favorite Ride:
Rocky Mountain National Park

Bike Setup:
Dura Ace front and rear, Cane Creek Volos XL wheelset, Truvativ carbon crank, Speedplay Light Action pedals, Ultegra brakes.

Summary:
I love this bike. It climbs great for a plush road bike. It is a very comfortable ride without a huge sacrifice in weight or stiffness. 17 lbs all in for my XL bike. It's not a racer but it is close enough and the added comfort is a big bonus.
I am a big rider at 6'4" and the bike handles my weight really well.
Plus, It looks cool and I have never seen another one in CO.
I got a deal on the bike at $1800 for Dura Ace and all carbon. Can't beat that.

Strengths:
Comfort. Great performance for a plush bike. Snob factor.

Weaknesses:
Can't find them in the US.

Similar Products Used:
Trek, Specialized
