Strengths: quality, affordabilityWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I bought a MB Le Champ and Immortal Ice in 2007. Le Champ had about 25,000 miles when the frame cracked and the Ice has over 20K miles and still running great. Matt at BD gave me a new Immortal carbon frame and fork for $450 (about $245 discount) to replace cracked frame. Will swap over parts from Le Champ to Immortal and be good to go. Excellent service from Matt and BD. Great bikes too, at best prices.
Favorite Ride: Santa Barbara-Carpinteria-Lake Casitas
Price Paid:
$450.00
Purchased At: BikesDirect
Similar Products Used: Trek Madone, Giant compact, Schwinn
Bike Setup: Immortal Ice with Dura Ace (from Le Champ) New Immortal en route will be equipped with Ultegra SL from Immortal Ice.

Strengths: Great value, sell off the none desirable parts. replace them with best parts around is a great idea and it is a good looking frame and it is a great project bikeWeaknesses: Frame finish tends to have bubble eye in clearcoat, not the greatest finish, but overall very good value and finishes.Bottom Line: Excellent bike for the money, I did a lot of upgrades, EASTON EA90 SLX wheels,DA Brakes, DA Crank, Lighter tyres and tubes, full Superlogic bar, stem and post. My bike ended up being around 3800. which is cool, I have 14.7lb spirit. Change the set of rims, and change superlogic bar, stem, post, using latex tubes and tyres, get DA brakes, and fizik saddle, replace crank if you wish, but no necessary. I changed mine to DA crank for 50/34 compact gearing to match the rest of DA line up, by the time I spent all the money, my bike now weighs 14.9lbs, very hard to get to this weight level if you only spent 3800 at a bike shop.

Strengths: frame is strong, absorbs the bumps, light and really cool looking. carbon everywhere you need it.Weaknesses: Frame is long so be prepared to change out your stem if your torso is a little short but your legs are long. The pedals that are 'complimentary' are a joke.Bottom Line: 2010 Bike. Did a lot of research before buying this bike and rolled the dice and bought the immortal spirit. After a year of riding: YOU CANT BEAT THIS BIKE.

Strengths: great priceWeaknesses: The frame cracked do to stuctural defects under normal use after 6 months.Bottom Line: This is a 2010 Immortal Spirit. The bike was great for the first 6 months. Then the frame cracked under normal use. BikesDirrect.com was no help, they just refer me the the Motobebane.
Motobecane was impossible and evasive. They wanted me to buy a new frame, even when their website states carbon frames have a one year warranty, supplied pictures of the defective frame and a copy of the receipt. I am seaking legal help. Please do not make my mistake, a few bucks savings can turn into a huge expensive headache.

Strengths: Price, Ride, efficiency
Weaknesses: Bottle cage nut was loose on arrival. Seems like a simple fix, but I can not take it to Bikes Direct very easy.Bottom Line: This review is for the Immortal Ice.
Bike gruppo is full Ultegra.
Wheel set is Mavic Ksyrium equipe.
This bike is fast. It feels like all my power reaches the ground. Very responsive and soaks up the bumps a lot better than my Aluminum Giant.
It is stable and corners well.
I only have 250 miles on this bike, so I don't know about the durability.
