Strengths: -Light, stiff, and fast
-The frame provides a smooth and comfortable ride without sacrificing performance.
-Nice geometry, at least for me.Weaknesses: -The brake pads are a little weak. Just switch them out for some Kool Stops and you'll be stopping on a dime!Bottom Line: I recently bought this bike used and it only had 2200 miles on it. Before I had this bike I owned a 2007 Scott Speedster with 105 groupo. It was quite the change over to a full carbon frame. It rides like a dream. Coupled with the FSA Carbon Pro crankset, I think I have myself quite the machine. The Dura Ace shifting is crisp and accurate. The frame is good for sprinting and great for climbing. My 58cm weighed in at 17.3 lbs and that's with my 386gram pedals. Overall, I'm very please with this bike and plan to have it for quite awhile.

Strengths: great handling, smoothness, quick accelerationWeaknesses: none so farBottom Line: I bought just the frame which was a brand new leftover and used a mix of components I had and liked. This bike is simply wonderful. I've been riding for 40 years on all sorts of bikes and this one is the best so far. Its handling is quick and precise, it's smooth as silk, and it accelerates like no other bike I've owned. I wouldn't have thought this was possible at my age but my speed has increased a couple of mph over sections of road I've ridden for years. Overall, this bike is a real winner.
Favorite Ride: any ride with little traffic

Strengths: Stiff yet forgiving, climbs way better than I do and decends as well as any I have ever ridden. smooth ride over rough terain. and drop dead good looks.Weaknesses: It doesn't even know the wordBottom Line: Over thirty years of riding, including much racing on custom builts, this is the overall smootest, best riding frame I have had under me. My component selection is also one made up from my experience. this bike simply performs and keeps performing.

Strengths: Responsiveness, Dura Ace component group, FSA compact carbon crankWeaknesses: No name brakes
Felt SeatBottom Line: List price was mid 2's, but I upgraded to Ksyrium wheels in lieu of the Askiums. I immediatley felt great improvements in acceleration when sprinting or attacking on a hill with all energy seeming to be applied to my forward momentum. I tested this along with the Scott CR1. While I liked the Scott a bit more for its responsiveness, for the value and the degree of improvement over my steel frame the Felt was the easy winner.

Comfortable on long rides.
Excellent frame build
DuraAce Components.Weaknesses: Unkown Caliper Brake brandBottom Line: I purchased bike after test riding it at the bike store.
