Strengths: Great positioning for climbingWeaknesses: Wheels, the Mavic Elite SL.Bottom Line: I have had this bike for 2 years now. I am pretty unaware of pain and only realize something is wrong when it is too late. So the first time I rode this bike I went 103 miles with a little over 6,000 feet of climbing. I noticed early in the ride that I wished there was more climbing because this bike was great to climb with. This bike does not flex much yet is comfortable to ride.
The seating position with your tail end behind the crank gives you a lot of leverage. When you are tired and climbing a hill it really stands out. I enjoy rides like the Mountains of Misery and the Mountain Mamma rides and this bike is a nice companion. I like the wheels because they are stout but will be getting some tubeless mountain climbing wheels.

Strengths: Asthetics, Responsiveness, Weight, Cornering, ClimbingWeaknesses: none yetBottom Line: Bike is amazing!! As I watched it being built I knew this bike was going to be an incredible machine. My racing team was BH sponsored at the time and I was ecstatic to be on a G5. It gets up to speed before you get both cleats clipped in, its ridiculous. You feel like you can take any corner at 20+mph and have a sense of comfort the whole time. I have actually changed teams and need to sell The G5 unfortunately, since my new team is Orbea sponsored now. If you are interested please contact me!!!

Strengths: Acceleration, ride quality, handling, weight.Weaknesses: Can't find one yet.Bottom Line: First Ride report -The bike with pedals, cages and computer comes in at 15.01 pounds. The acceleration is truly amazing. With the combination of frame, wheels, crank and pedals, the power transfer is instant. I have dropped one gear on my cassette when climbing. The ride is actually much more compliant than I had anticipated…I could easily do a century ride. Coming down steep technical sections, the bike performed very well…not quite the level of the Serotta Nove it replaced, but very good.

Strengths: Efficiency and handling, the bike flies. Customer service of BH is as good as it gets. I had an issue with the seatpost and the team at BH (who actually answer the phone) hooked me up and were a mountain of help. Great company and brand.Weaknesses: I just don't know what I would change.Bottom Line: This bike is very stiff laterally, yet still offers a fairly compliant ride. It literally puts every ounce of pedal effort to the pavement--it just takes off. The handling is very intuitive. It handles corners unbelievably. It is fun to have a bike that gets so much attention. I answer alot of questions at bike shops and coffee shops about the bike and the brand. It stands out amidst a crowd of Cervelos, Specialized, etc.
Purchased At: Speedgoat
Bike Setup: Ultegra with the RS80 Shimano wheels. Changed to a Fizik Arione saddle, everything else was left alone.
