Strengths: Ultegra Components
Light, Stiff, Fast
Smooth ride
Weaknesses: None so far. Nitpick on the 105 brakes.
Bottom Line:
Have test road this bike several times without the money to purchase it. I recently after aquiring the cash decided to take the plunge and purchase this bike.
The bike is light (at 19 pounds with Ultegra Pedals) and stiff. The ride is very smooth for an aluminum bike and accelerates like a dream. Only complaint I could make is the use of all Ultegra components EXCEPT for the breaks. The black brakes look pretty nice against the Carbon Forks/Seat Stays, but the uniformity of components is broken with the use of 105 brakes. Great Ride!
