Strengths:    Handles and rides great. Beats the aluminum trek 1100 and the steel lemond cyclocross bikes hands down.

Weaknesses:    Geared high. Am changing double crank for triple crank.

Bottom Line:   
Recently purchased a Diamondback Podium 4 race bike. It's carbon fiber frame absorbs bumps wonderfully. Rear derailuer is Shimano Ultegra and the brakes are Shimano 105. Both work great so far.

Strengths:    Light weight, super stiff, very smooth over rough terrain, and built up with all Ultegra and dura-ace components.

Weaknesses:    Stock bars had to go due to being narrow, and odd feeling. Wheels are a bit heavy for this level of roadie, but are more than adequate for me at the moment.

Bottom Line:   
This bike is a dream ride. Smooth as butter, super light, and handles awesome due to it being a "compact geometry" frame.
