Strengths:    Comfortable fast

Weaknesses:    Nothing yet

Bottom 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.

Date Reviewed: September 5, 2010

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.

Strengths:    Stiffness in sprints, climbing out of the saddle. Looks.

Bottom Line:   
2010 Gallium: Great BB stiffness, a Review is for Frame only. A noticeable upgrade from my Specialized Tarmac S-Works frame. The Gallium is still comfortable enough for a 4 hour ride. Head tube extensions are great for riders who don't drop the bars too low. Handles well with moderately quick steering and a high BB for cornering.

Date Reviewed: March 2, 2010

Strengths:    Light, explosive, great handler, gorgeous, comfortable, rigid bottom bracket, a bliss to ride, etc and so-on...

Weaknesses:    None as of today

Bottom Line:   
My bike is a 2009 Gallium Pro, lighter and even racier than the previous Gallium S3.
It is a wonderful bike: Crisp, sure-handling, confidence-inspiring, responsive and confortable, all the possible qualities you would expect from a bike twice the price of this one. It is a really hi-end machine. Well finished and beautiful, with plenty of incredible design innovations.
