Strengths:    Solid bike for commuting or a weekend road racing. This bike is great.

Weaknesses:    If you find one second hand beware that you can no longer get replacement parts for the original Grecal Parade wheels. When spokes start breaking, plan on buying new wheels. I run Mavic Askum on mine and they are now indestructable.

Bottom Line:   
Great bike for training rides, commuting, and general cycling fun on the road.

Strengths:    The bike is fast, light, and very comfortable to ride. Nice part spec for the price paid.

Weaknesses:    The grecal parade wheels were a bit heavy and needed frequent truing. The fizik saddle was very uncomfortable.

Bottom Line:   
I have ridden this bike since 2005. It was the first road bike I have owned. I tested a Trek and a Specialized before purchasing the Cannondale. I have had thoughts of going to carbon, but after my upgrades, I don't really see the need. I have no trouble keeping up with riders on their carbon frames and have won my share of town line sprints on it.

Strengths:    Stiff, Nice looking, light with the other Ultegra parts, and Nice geametry.

Weaknesses:    Old parts.

Bottom Line:   
I had a Colnago with full ultegra, and I crashed, so all the parts went to this bike that had full 105.
I had Easton handle bars and stem all Carbon, so that went to that frame as well.
The bike handles better than the Colnago that I had, fast and great geometry fro me, climbing is a goat, and very stiff. Great in the curves, I can ride the curves sharper than the Colnago and my back does not hurt at all after 50 miles ride.
Brands, Brands, carbon, Aluminum, Titanium, well I am stuck with this one, Aluminum.

Strengths:    speed, lightness

Weaknesses:    seat, seatpost.

Bottom Line:   
I've been off of a bike for years and decided to get back on, found this on a Craigslist posting and decided to pull the trigger. The bike is ridiculously fast, my boss rides often on his R600 and i just flat crush him, it's pretty light and while i can see in a few years upgrading components, they work very well as it sits.
