Strengths: Great lines, inexpensive, stiff and lightWeaknesses: Fork is lacking big timeBottom Line: I bought this 750 Carbon Fusion frame from Bobs several years ago as an upgrade from my Trek 1500 SLR. The frame is outstanding, same as the Team frame from what I understand. The supplied fork (which is what differentiates this bike from the Team version frame) is a bit lacking, in fact I cracked it at the drop out, it was a carbon with CrMo steerer. Replaced with an Alpha Q GS20 and the bike is a different machine.
I have many miles on it so far and I still love it. I am no racer, but this bike does everything well in my opinion.
Favorite Ride: Today's
Price Paid:
$399.00
Purchased At: Bob's Better Bikes

Bike Setup: Mixed 9/10 speed Shimano, D/A 7700 shifters, RD and cassette, Ultegra 6600 crank, Alpha Q GS20 fork, Thomson Elite, and Mavic Aksium wheels

Strengths: Stonger frame than Felt I had and stiffer at sprinting and climbing.Weaknesses: Wheels trainer and roller compatable. Victory wheelset I upgraded with a Neuvation wheelset. I never thought I'd see the day when I had a (red) bike.Bottom Line: This bike is actually a 2008 750 Flite, all 105 except derailers and cog.The reason is it was laid down during transport parts upgraded at shipping companies expense. I do triathlons and weakend warrior riding a heavy tri bike with Ultegra components and a carbon frame, so not worth the cost. Road bike with aero wheels and clip-on handle bars the way to go. I know pro triathlete's and the only reason they use what the use is sponsership.
Favorite Ride: Rehobeth to Lewes Fort Miles
Price Paid:
$1100.00
Purchased At: Bikehouse
Similar Products Used: Have only ever used Shimano 105 and Ultegra components on all road bikes. I used a friends Sram Force on vacation, I couldn't get used to the shifter swing x 2 to down shift.
Bike Setup: As I said all 105 except derailers and cog which are ultegra. Neuvation wheelset, and specialized armadillo's for winter riding now, specialized pro's in summer and tri season.

Strengths: Great compact frame that is stiff but not a harsh ride. 9 speed 105 components perform smooth and the Selle San Marco seat is comfortable.Weaknesses: Had to replace aluminum seat post provided as it was to short so I put on a Pizzaz carbin which is great, also the Tektro Brakes are usless so I replaced them with a set of 105's that I had kicking around and are much better. Also just replaced the WH R500 wheelset as it is far to sloppy under any form of load. Hopefully the Ksyrium Elites perform better.Bottom Line: So far the bike has been great. It is stiff enough for my 6'5" 200lbs body and not to harsh and stiff that you feel every bump. I picked it up at the Toronto Bike show for a great price $1250. The 2006 still had the full carbon frame unlike the 2007 and 2008 which have carbon fused with aluminum frames. This is actually the same frame as the KHS Team bike.

Strengths: I am 190 lbs. it is stiff enough not to flex. not harsh smooth ride. Great price.
High tech look, well engineered.Weaknesses: a little heavy.Bottom Line: I bought this as a winter trainer because it was full carbon and inexpensive. I now intend to ride it all this season. I have about 1000 miles on it and love the ride. It gives good road feel does not feel dead like felt etc.
