Strengths: I have a bike built for under a $900 well under 20 lbs that rides like a champ, picked up VUELTA CORSA LITE rimes with Vittoria Kevlar tires, for $240.00 new for all at nashbar, a Q2 157 g carbon post for $22.00 off ebay, and I am using crank bros eggbeater pedals, I tried a few bikes from the lbs and to get this performance I would be at almost 2k, just love it, shifting and breaks will have to do for now as I was looking for performance and shifters dont make a bike faster, breaks do what they need to do as they will stay for a bit as wellWeaknesses: stock parts are fillers on entry bikes, the stock wheels weren't true out of the box and I worked on them a few times before replacing them, the alex 500 wheels with formula hubs are at 1972 grams for the pairBottom Line: have had the bike for a few months now and have always tinkered with bikes as I have a full xtr Rocky Mountain mtb with all the goodies on it, I just got into riding on the road and this caught my eye for the looks and price to get started, I have changed a few parts so far as I am sure you are curious about weight as I have scaled most of the parts for this
stock parts,
seat 340 grams (new seat 283g)
seat post 386 grams(new post 157g)
stem 152 grams (new stem 126g)

Strengths: Lightweight, Good Geometry, Responsive, Fast, Handles WellWeaknesses: Subpar stock brakesBottom Line: I've been cycling for about four years now; primarily on a hybrid, so the GT GTR Series 1 is my first road bike and I'm completely blown away. This bike is light, responsive, and handles really well. It has reenergized my desire to ride. Since I purchased this bike, I now average about 75 miles a week in the saddle.
From what I've been able to tell thus far, this bike is better constructed than most bikes in the same price range. The Rival components are precise and very smooth. I upgraded the brakes to Sram Rival since I was informed the stocks brakes were subpar. I also swapped out the Vittoria Rubino for a pair of yellow Michelin Pro 3 to match the colors in the bike and quickly realized they allowed the bike to ride faster.

I made the choice to but this bike because of price, looks, and it wasn't a trendy brand. I love the ride, handling, and overall feel of the bike. Can't wait to race in my 1st tri in June.

Strengths: Good entry level bike, great valueWeaknesses: Front derailleur, handlebarsBottom Line: I bought the series 3 off ebay brand new but got AUD$400 off the RRP. The front derailleur requires a delicate touch of the shifters to work well. The other problem is with the handlebars, they are oversized in the middle which makes mounting computers and lights difficult. Other than that a good value for money bike. No problem with the wheels yet, I've been over 200km and no flats yet.
