Strengths: Frame! esp considering all the potholes and bad roads here Weaknesses: wheel hubs sealed?? and i need to purchase 2 new wheels.
Weight (but u pay for what u get) Bottom Line: For the mileage that i've done, this bike has served well and true -especially considering the weight of 9.9kg. It's taken me from a L batch Argus to G batch to C batch this year.

Strengths: Great components, light weight, smooth ride Weaknesses: Aesthetically unappealing, feels weird at 25-30 MPH
Bottom Line: My LBS found one of these still at the warehouse and ordered it knowing I needed a new ride.
The ride is smooth. The carbon stays and fork absorb the road bumps pretty well.
The 105 drivetrain is dandy.
Kore Gradient II wheelset is great. I am always the first one to the bottom of hills when the groups is coasting.
Seat is average. I might replace it, but it's okay for now.
The bike is light. I don't know official weight, but compared to bikes priced $100-$200 more similarly equipped, it is a featherweight.
Something does happen at 25-30 MPH where the bike feels like it is hitting a wave. It's the only way I can describe it.
Favorite Ride: Back country hilly ridePrice Paid:
$925.00Purchased At: Main Street BikesBike Setup: Stock with Shimano PD-1530 pedals
