Strengths: Flex on the road when hitting the crazy potholes we have in Florida. Whoever siad potholes were caused by frost, anyway? THis is a long time family owned business, adn they are very comitted to the bike design, and are mountian people. The strength needed for climbing the hills of the Tetons, were I work in the summers, is emense, and this bike helps me to hit the hills hard, but feels like a like energ workout.Weaknesses: I am very long legged, and my body is not exactly in proportion, so I had to have help from my local shop in setting this bike up. For more average sized folks, should not be a problem.Bottom Line: The technology of this bike was not the first thing I looked at when making this key purchase (my first real high end road bike), but I have become a technophile since the purchase. Orbea is way ahead in the arena, and I can't help but appreciate the Italian design history(basic, not too curvey design is what I came to like).
The company is somewhat small, so can turn on a dime wiht new technology. Interestingly, they are also a co-op business, with the company owned by the employees. it makes for a strong comittment to the team they sponsor, and they can modify the designs based on feedback. Fast!
