Price Paid:  $600.00 at Freewheel bikeshop

Model Year:
2007

Favorite Ride:
Raliegh Grand Sport

Summary:
Great bike for the money. I purchased this bike and rode 1300 miles on it in 3 months, didn't have a problem. It is a an extremely tough bike and has been a joy to ride almost daily.

Strengths:
Like I said it is a tough bike. I had a accident where I went through a fence. I got right back on the bike and finished the ride. Front forks diffently held up during the accident.

Weaknesses:
The pedals that came with the bike.

Price Paid:  $350.00 at Ebay

Model Year:
2006

Favorite Ride:
A1A in Lauderdale

Bike Setup:
Stock except, I have combo pedals for SPD or street shoes.

Summary:
Great bike for the money. I keep this at a vacation home and it is a joy to ride. If your not going to do century rides or be a dihard, this bike will do everything you could want. The adjustable angle stem sure helps my older back. The triple shifts smoothly.

Strengths:
Price for performance. Carbon Fork.

Weaknesses:
Snob appeal

Similar Products Used:
Bianchi 928 Carbon which I love.

Price Paid:  $350.00 at Erik's Bike Shop

Model Year:
2004

Favorite Ride:
Along the Mississippi River

Bike Setup:
Shimano Dura Ace chainring and cassette, Specialized Milano saddle, Armadillo 700x25c tires, Alex 300 wheels

Summary:
Great entry level bike for the competitive commuters like myself. Stock weight of 25 lbs isn't ideal for hills, but is durable for rough city roads. I recommend changing the stock 23c tires to 25c for extra durability.

Strengths:
Price and versatility. It's good for riding on city roads on weekdays and passing up joy riders on weekends

Weaknesses:
The Seat. It isn't suitable for racing and it's not comfortable enough for commuting. I switched to a Specialized Milano and I'll never switch back.
