Strengths: Lightweight, trouble-free, reliable.Weaknesses: Not crazy about the color scheme, but it has grown on me.Bottom Line: My first serious bike. Have ridden about 4,000 miles, including 3 centuries. Zero mechanical issues, and I ride a lot of hills in that require a lot of shifting. Seems to be every bit the equal of my friends' bikes (Felt, Trek, Orbea) and costs less. Excellent value!
Favorite Ride: Lynchburg, TN
Price Paid:
$1815.00
Purchased At: Madison Cycles
Similar Products Used: Have a 20-year old Cannondale I rode back in the day; no real comparison.
Bike Setup: Stock set up with triple crank. Use Time RXS pedals and have swapped seats a couple times.

Strengths: Weight, Components, Color, PriceWeaknesses: Not as plush as CCR would implyBottom Line: 2009 CCR-2
Upgraded the handlebars to E3 Carbons (on sale for $149) and the front derailer to an Ultegra. Ride is pretty smooth although not as nice as the 2009 Specialized Roubaix Elite I compared it to. Didn't care for the Roubaix brakes nor the sound of pebbles constantly pinging off of the brakes because of the tires that seemed to be pebble magnets. I'm 5'10.5" and ended up with the M/L with a 10cm stem (down from 12) and it seems to fit pretty well.
Favorite Ride: Any road sans cars

Strengths: This bike is on rails in corners, very stiff when hammering out of the saddle, lightweight on the climbs. Brakes are good.Weaknesses: I'm not crazy about the compact crankset, but maybe I'm just not used to it yet(I had a triple on my other roadie).Bottom Line: Actually a 2009, it's a good smooth ride. The wheelset I think is good at this pricepoint, a lot lighter than my previous roadie. This bike is so comfortable, whether on the hoods or in the drops. Very nice handling, even when my mind wanders and I hit a pothole. The carbon frame helps take care of the road buzz I had with my aluminum framed bike. And, it's a beautiful bike to look at.

Bottom Line: purchased ccr2 in 2008. No serious crashes. In Oct 2009 noted cracks in top tube. Has been returned to dealer for what will hopefully be warranty coverage. No explanation for the crack that I can think of.
