Strengths: -Price
-Ultegra Shifting
-Looks
-ClimbingWeaknesses: -Weight (21lbs at 54cm)
-Harsh aluminum frame with serious welds.
Bottom Line: I bought the Knight hesitantly off bikesdirect.com and I can say with 100% certainty that this is the best cycling purchase I've ever made. The ultegra drivetrain provides extremely smooth shifting, the carbon seat post/fork lessens the harshness of the aluminum ride, the geometry is very comfortable for both upright and drop positions, and the bike itself is strikingly attractive.
Favorite Ride: Central Park

$799.00
