Strengths: Great components. Ultegra and SRAM, carbon seat stays and fork.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I ordered the bike from BikesDirect. The LBS had way overpriced bikes, and after looking at the specs of the Sprint, I purchased. I've read some of the reviews about getting fitted. Sure, it's important, but there are sites that will calculate your fit. I'm not willing to pay a premium to have the LBS push an overpriced bike that had the seat adjusted. I can do that myself.
The bike assembly took less than 20 minutes and the bike ride was smooth and straight. No extra tuning was required.
Shipping was incredibly fast and the bike arrived without any damage to the box.

Strengths: The whole bike is very well put together, everything seems to have been assembled with care, not just slapped together. The frame is nice and stiff, yet the whole bike is very light and fast. It handles really well and is stable, yet very manueverable. The components are a good match and work very well together. All in all, the way everything comes together is it's greatest strength.Weaknesses: The seat is hard and didn't fit me well.Bottom Line: This bike is the current 2009 blue version on the BD website.If you are ready to step up to a quality bike but are unwilling to pay $ 2500+ for a "name brand" this bike is for you ! This bike has hooked me on road riding. The frame is stiff when you get up on the pedals and crank, yet is forgiving when you hit road imperfections and such. It's stable at high speeds and handles like a dream. Mine weighs 19lbs ready to ride. The Shifting is slick and quiet with a good spread of ratios in case you need to climb some big hills. The wheels are smooth and stiff, and the bearings are so smooth that they just seem to spin forever. Nice looking paint, beautiful welds, nice components, All in all this bike is a great deal.

Strengths: Great drive train components. The Tektra brakes are a bit weak but are acceptable.Weaknesses: The Kenda Kontender tires are horrible: unresponsive on turns (I almost ran into a tree in a race) and blow out oftenBottom Line: I was very skeptical purchasing a bike sight unseen, but it seemed too good to pass up. After six months, it is a great bike: it is relatively light, has great components, and rides smoothly without a sound. The frame geometry is very similar to a Trek.
Favorite Ride: Any in daylight
Price Paid:
$895.00
Purchased At: BikesDirect
Bike Setup: Specialized Armadillos replaced the Kontenders
