Strengths: Value for money. Chuckability. FSA equipment. Looks great.Weaknesses: Promax brakes.Bottom Line: Bargain at that price. Replaced an older alloy/RSX equipped no-name Extreme Reaction. Mine came with the Gipiemme Platinum wheelset - better than the ones specced. New carbon handlebars (Ambrosio - second hand) and carbon seatpost (Zoom - direct and bargain) due to vibration on my coarse-chip roads locally. New seat due to crash (insurance bought me a Selle Italia Flite). Put older Shimano 600 brakes which are better than the Promax. Nice compact frame, responds well and performs better than expected. Tiagra works just fine.

Strengths: Light, relitively inexpensive, very smooth and crisp feel to the ride, clean shifting and braking.Weaknesses: The two caps holding the tape onto the end of the handle has come loose, but this is easilly fixable by spendin a couple bucks to buy new better fitting caps.Bottom Line: I shopped around all over the area for bikes and was about to buy the giant 0cr3 when I stumbled acroos this little gem! With better derailer Tiagra vs sora and better frame quality it easily swayed me over from the giant. It has been ana amazing bike with a very smooth crisp feel to it. I would reccomend this bike to anyone espeacially anyone not ready to break the bank for a bike!

Strengths: I have only been on the bike for a month but i have had lots of great experiences so far. Have gotten lots of compliments of the look and design of the bike from friends and strangers, most of whom ride bikes 3-5 times the price I paid for the Chicane.
The bike has a handmade frame, weighs 3.34 lbs. If you look around you can get a great deal on the '04, i got it for under $1000 with taxes.
Comes with stock Michelin tires, and decent aftermarket seat stem and handlebar (Ritchey).
Also the bike is Built in Canada.Weaknesses: Some consider a weakness Shimano SORA shifters a weakness but being a beginner I could care less about them, so far I have done about 250 km and I haven't had a problem yet.Bottom Line: Great all around bike for the beginner. Its the right price to get you into the sport and great Quality.
I just started riding this year, I am a swimmer and a runner for years so i decided to give the triathlon a shot... why not?
Favorite Ride: 2004 Devinci Chicane
Price Paid:
$799.00
Purchased At: T&L - Ottawa
Similar Products Used: While hunting for the right bike I tested the:
Specialized Allez
Allez Sport
Devinci Apex
When it came down to decision time I was looking at the Allez Sport and the Chicane. Both were within $100 of eachother but the Quality of the Chicane won me over. (Not to mention it looks a hell of a lot nicer)
Bike Setup: Stock Setup
