Strengths: Many people think aluminum bodies are a weakness. Actually if you wiegh more than 170 pounds this bike holds your wieght better than any carbon fiber model. The wieght of the bike does not affect the speed, it is a very fast bike (I have wipped up on some Cervelos and Biachis with it). The shifters and deraillers are shimano sora and are streamlined into the bike for seamless shifting. Tecktro brakes are the same used in high end road cycles.Weaknesses: No weaknesses. Not even the stock pedals. I have never used clip pedals and I will tell you that it doesn't matter.Bottom Line: This is an awesome bike for the cyclist looking for a way to get into road cycling. I am a commuter cyclist and a recreational road cyclist on the weekends and during the week. This bike has held up against long 30+ mile rides in all sorts of wheather as well as several falls and accidents. I recommend this bike to anyone that gets their hands on it. It was a steal of a deal.
Favorite Ride: yes
Price Paid:
$475.00
Purchased At: The Bicycle Exchange
Similar Products Used: This is my first road bike.

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.Bottom Line: 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: Price for performance. Carbon Fork.Weaknesses: Snob appealBottom Line: 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.
