Price Paid:  $4000.00 at Sports Basement

Model Year:
2007

Favorite Ride:
Centerville/Honeyrun, Chico, Ca

Bike Setup:
Poor build up from bike store (wavy washer missed on buildup). Position on bike is critical (for comfort)

Summary:
Excellent bike. Light, fast and climbs very will which is unusual for a tri bike. I normally put four to five thousand miles a year in commuting and recreational riding. This bike has it all. Extremely comfortable, light, very stable handling characteristics. This is what a bike should be. Only problem with the bike is poor initial build up. bike was missing the wavy washer on FSA crank when delivered causing poor shifting until problem was discovered. Also, vision brake levers are very thin and hard to use on cold wet desents. Purchased with Reynolds Assault carbon rims. This bike is very very fast.

Strengths:
Light, Quick with very stable handling. very fast and comfortable riding.

Weaknesses:
Poor selection of tri bike accessories. had to build custom rear bottle mounts and rack.

Similar Products Used:
Titanium racing bike, racing recumbants, city bikes, tandems and classics
