Strengths: I am currently riding the new 2013 Gallium and love the way it feels on the road. It has a smooth feel even on rough roads. It corners well with its low center of gravity. Overall, fast bike and one I look forward to riding for a long time.Weaknesses: The only weakness I can think of is the slightly higher price point over other comparable bikes however Argon 18 continues to be a high end, boutique bike brand.Bottom Line: I love how the bike handles. The ride quality is smooth and supple. You can take high speed cornering with confidence. The Gallium comes from the same mold as the Gallium Pro however has a slight downgrade in carbon quality. Built with SRAM Red and Hed Jet/6/9 wheels it weights 16 lbs. even. I purchased mine from www.TriVeloSports.com and received free shipping and reward points. I highly recommend their shop. Talk to Britt.

Strengths: Very stable, excellent cornering, good power transfer but comfortable on long rides, 3D head set system. Fast down hill...yes I said down hill.Weaknesses: Stupid wheel catches on front forks (filed them off)Bottom Line: I mainly shopped for a new frame and fork to find something stiffer then my current ride and I found it. This is a very stable smooth ride. Corners very well at high speed. Rides a strait line at high speeds when descending. Great power transfer both in and out of the seat. I used to think my Mavic Ksyruim wheels were mushy because when I stood on climbs my breaks would rub on the rims. It was not the wheels and I no longer experience this issue.
This is a great bike and for me a great price. I found a 2011 model new in box at a clearance price. Under budget and over expectations.

Strengths: Comfortable fastWeaknesses: Nothing yetBottom Line: Initial impression is very positive. My second full carbon bike. Being a full out performance bike I expected a a much harsher ride than my last "comfort" set up. Bike is very comfortable vibration is nil sucks up the cracks and bumps of the road. Comfortable, climbs like a goat and converts all your energy to the wheels efficiently. First impresion is great.

Strengths: Nice looks, solid cornering, not too twitchy - but not too slow. stiff enough for me.Weaknesses: I've had the headtube extenions loosen a couple times. The metal headtube extenions have chipped the finish on the headtube.
Bottom Line: Excellent bike. Great combination of speed, stability and comfort. I ride this bike on short and long (100+ miles) rides. It is comfortable.
No downsides - if you are looking for a race-worthy bike that won't beat you up and has a Euro-tour ride feel - this is it.
