Strengths: Smoothes out the bumps, and very light ride. Makes hills easier, and all riding faster. Stable frame with no glitches. I am a 200 lb rider.Weaknesses: I didn't like the brakes either. I just replaced the pads with shimano and that worked for me. Had a hard to find squeek after 7m miles which turned out to be the headset needed lube.Bottom Line: I am very satisfied with this ride. More bike for the buck than riding a trek.
Favorite Ride: Have too many
Price Paid:
$2800.00
Purchased At: Anthony's Bikes
Similar Products Used: Cannondale alum, trek carbon

Strengths: Dura Ace drive train! Great option for this price. American Classic wheels are very light and fast. Frame finish and color scheme, not bad on the eyes.Weaknesses: I agree w/other comments about the brakes. The calipers had lots of flex. I replaced them w/Dura Ace. Its off-the-shelf Vs.custom. I replaced the saddle (more padding) and bars (wider) to improve comfort.Bottom Line: Great bike! I upgraded from a 15 yr old steel frame. My climbing ability improved instantly. This bike is very quick and responsive. Road vibrations and hand numbness are gone. I shopped for a couple months test riding many carbon bikes. The F2C geometry fit my body and riding style perfect. The compact crank w/gear set-up is perfect for the rides I train on.
Favorite Ride: Texas hill country

Strengths: Responsive, light. Very durable.Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: I have a F2C Team. Great bike from the get go. I had been wanting to build my dream bike for years. This one met my expectations. It had been years since I have ridden seriously. What a rush. Very responsive yet very comfortable as well. I am a heavier rider and this bike can take it when you jam on the pedals.

Strengths: Great price for a carbon bike with Dura-Ace componentsWeaknesses: None to dateBottom Line: Fantastic ride. This is my first carbon rig and right away I could see the benefits. Was riding a Felt F50, which was a great bike,however, doesn't compare the smooth ride you get with the carbon frame. Great component set (Dura-Ace)and great value.
