Strengths:    Since it is custom built, it suits its user perfectly. It is durable and reliable.

Weaknesses:    It is quite expensive.

Bottom Line:   
This is the best sport bicycle for me (95 kg). One can choose all parts of the bike individually, the frame is custom built to one's preferences. The ride is sweet and one can go for hours on that saddle and truly enjoy oneself.
Before using this bike I had a very good, aluminium frame and shimano 105, bike. And frankly I was quite content with it, but this Guru is better. Crank power transfer to the wheel is much better, and the ride (using similar tires) fells smoother.
Campagnolo Record gruppo provide crisp gear change and very strong breaking.

Strengths:    Solid, Elegant, Fast, Light, and folks will stop you in the street to admire your bike.

Weaknesses:    none that I have been able to identify

Bottom Line:   
This is the sweetest Ti ride ever!! Add a manufacture that customs builds, fits every crate they sell along with the most awesome customer service you have ever had and you just created my Guru. This bike is beautiful, custom painted, hand crafted joy on wheels. The company is real. Their folks right from the receptionist, designers, craftsmen, through to the president everyone is a cyclist and everyone will take time to talk to you. I was fitted by one of the partners (and trust me I am Mr. Anybody) If your a bike snob like me you will love GURU!
