Strengths: It's a good bike to start with for the price, especially if you ride a lot.
Weaknesses: It comes with pedal straps, which i would upgrade, if you have the funds. It also has 24 gears,which think is about eight too many. So if you like more gears, this is for you. If you don't like it, then you can upgrade the front chainring.
Bottom Line:
This bike was pretty good for the price that i paid for it. It weighs around 24 pounds (56cm). Anyone just starting out, who is looking for a good road bike, this would be a good one to take a look at. I put about 220 miles on it for the first week and a half that i had it. So if you ride a lot, it's a good one.
