Strengths:    Stiffness, weight, price.

Weaknesses:    None really. It's better than I expected for a frame at this price.

Bottom Line:   
I wanted a good aluminum frame for crits and other races where I didn't want to have to worry about replacing my frame if I crashed. CC had a special on this frame so I bought one. The large fits me perfectly at 6'2" with a 33" inseam. I built the frame with SRAM Rival components and slapped my old Easton Circuits on and went for a long ride. The bike feels great. Being aluminum, there is a bit more vibration, but it feels quite solid and very stiff. Total build weight was 17 lbs. Not too shabby.
