Strengths: This bike allows for superb climbing and confident cornering. It is laterally stiff, yet smooth. I constantly receive compliments on the paint job and color scheme.
The Neuvation wheels have taken a severe beating on many rides and are still round and true.
Weaknesses: The original stem was heavy. The orignal carbon bars were great, but too narrow for me.Bottom Line: I have had the Aprissa Team for 2 1/2 years. It has a LOT of miles on it.
This is a very comfortable bike and holds a line nicely. I find that this bike climbs like a mountain goat. And I have no qualms about laying it into corners on fast descents.
Favorite Ride: Chuckanut Drive and Whidbey Island
Price Paid:
$1400.00
Purchased At: Ibex website
Similar Products Used: Specialized, Bianchi, DeRosa, Trek

Strengths: Handling, ride, stiffness (when out of the saddle). I attribute the good ride quality to the carbon rear triangle.Weaknesses: None really, except I had a little trouble installing the cable guide under the bottom bracket as I recall, but I was able to work through it.Bottom Line: I just bought the frame alone and put an Easton EC90SL fork on it. The frame is heavier than advertised as one reviewer noted (my 57 cm is just under 3 lbs). I think this frame was a great value ($400) at the time that I bought it. I am very pleased overall with the bike.
Price Paid:
$400.00
Purchased At: IBEX
Similar Products Used: Nothing exactly similar, I have an all aluminum Scattante, a Vitus 979, and various steel bikes. I feel that the IBEX is the best all around bike that I own, although the Vitus does have a cushier ride.
Bike Setup: Ultegra 9 speed, I swap various wheels/tires in/out depending on the time of year, etc.

Strengths: Lightweight, solid feel, cornering, climbingWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I have wanted to upgrade from my older Trek 760 to something that would be under 20 lbs and have the quality of material that would last. This is the bike. I highly recommend this bike. The weight is around 18, but it responds nicely to my requirements. The component selection is good for this price of bike.

Strengths: Light weight. Good Looking. I have recieved a lot of compliments. Fast and firm but not a rough ride.Weaknesses: Even though it is rated as a good saddle, the FSA saddle killed me. And even though the Ultegra 6600 front derailuer is a very good component, it is a little hard to tweak in.Bottom Line: The bike is effortless to ride. I find myself cruising at speeds about 2 mph faster than my old bike. Delivery was 3-1/2 business days from the time I ordered it.
