Price Paid:  $990.00 at Hub City Cycles, Hag

Model Year:
2006

Favorite Ride:
this one

Summary:
I've clocked 700+ miles on this bike, usually on very crowded and busy city streets that aren't always very well paved, This bicycle provides superb control, very good stiffness and is light enough to pick and lift over a gate or a divider with ease. The dual brakes are a huge boon for city riding and its rims have stood up to some bone jarring punishment from the cracks in concrete streets at 20 miles an hour. The bike was great value too, with Shimano Tiagra shifters and 105 derailleurs.

Strengths:
Handling, dual brakes, riding position, price

Weaknesses:
Transmits vibrations easily

Price Paid:  $900.00 at Bikeworks, Sylvania,

Model Year:
2006

Favorite Ride:
This one!

Bike Setup:
I have the interchange system for the luggage rack and have added the profile airstryke aero bars, and the profile water bottle (which I highly recommend). I am adding a cateye cc-cd300dw computer when it arrives, as I am working on my cadence, trying for my personal best

Summary:
This is also MY first real bike....good pricepoint for what I was getting, and a very easy and smooth ride. This is my first year cycling (not just biking). I like the more upright style, and have since added aero bars. It has held up very well so far, with just over 1000 miles logged in 4 months.

Strengths:
solid, lightweight, and handles easily. It corners well and despite it's light weight, holds the road well. I like the dual brakes, which I understand they eliminated after 2006.

Weaknesses:
It's a little stiff, and you can feel every bump in the road, but I suppose that's typical of Carbon forks. (?)

My last bike was an old steel Giant...no comparison

This is my first real bike. I have never been a rider before and I bought this because with a two layer lamanectomy and bad knees I had to make a change. I have gone just over 2000 miles since Nov 2006. I love the bike I have had no problem with it whatsoever. It is easy to make adjustments. It puts me in a great possition to ride. I am very comfortable.
