Strengths: Dura Ace!!! Shifts amazing. Frame doesn't flex under load and is not noticably harsh. The carbon fork dampens quite a bit of chatter.
Weaknesses: Personally didn't like the saddle even though many do like that one. May swap bars because the arch in the drop is not long enough for my whole hand to fit comfortably.
Bottom Line:
Riding the bike just makes me want more. From the frame that is not as harsh as I would expect from other aluminum frames to the fact that it comes with full Dura Ace and Mavic Ksyerium SSC SL wheels you can't beat the value. Such a steal at this price. The bike rides like a dream rockets when you pedal and shifts like a dream.
Please help - I am stuck trying to pick one of the two "finalists" to purchase.
Any suggestions which bike is better, better ride, etc.? Please share.
