Strengths:    everything

Weaknesses:    nothing

Bottom Line:   
Bike is great. After a few long rides and some fine adjustments this bike is almost effortless to sprint and not a lot of pain during long rides. Sizing and bike geometry are user friendly. I have yet to see a KHS 900 not look good and with great components.

Strengths:    - Light weight (17.5 lbs with pedals)
- Great looks.
- Smooth, responsive ride.
- Great value (for the price I got it for)


Weaknesses:    - SRAM Rival not quite as refined as Ultegra.
- Not the same cache as Trek/Specialized.
-


Bottom Line:   
My first real road bike. Was looking at picking up a bike from the bigger players like Trek/Specialized but saw this beauty at the Toronto Fall Bike show. Love the stealth matte black finish vs the glossy finishes of most other bikes. First ride was a dream. SRAM Rival group took some getting used to. Overall, I'm very happy.

Strengths:    Great Campy components, INCLUDING THE WHEELS! Lightweight, very aero' frame. Responsive handling and acceleration.

Weaknesses:    Stiff frame can be a little harsh on very rough pavement. This can be remedied with a comfy saddle choice and good riding position, however. I use a Brooks Swift saddle (it's a little heavy, but it's oh-so-supple!)

Bottom Line:   
An excellent performer for the price. This bike is a very competitive racer, at a club racer price. The responsiveness of the frame is awesome, though it does mean a little less comfort.
