Price Paid:  $4000.00

Model Year:
2005

Favorite Ride:
Any in beautiful Colorado

Bike Setup:
Blue Chris King hubs on DT 1.1,s and older Black King set on CXP 33's with 36 spoke for training. Dura Ace, Garmin 705

Summary:
Very stiff, after lots of seat time I still can't get position just right. Great bike. Mine 2004 frame lack the newer cable guides.

I've had the bike for a while but probably only ridden less than 500 miles and this during the past year as I am trying to get my young sons invilved in Tri. Great race bike, OK cruiser/century bike.

Strengths:
Stiff but still very comfortable. Very fast and feels like sports car. However, my Tuscany is still the century bike.

Weaknesses:
Although I should be set up I still have discomfort on some rides?? No cable guides...some claim make shifting awkward. I do not see much of a problem here.
To much money for a frame unless you r a pro.

Price Paid:  $2100.00 at eBay

Model Year:
2005

Favorite Ride:
Canyon Lake/Tortilla Flats

Bike Setup:
dura-ace, FSA carbon cranks/TT ring, Vision aerobar,Easton Aero fork, Zipp 606

Summary:
I'll save you time. Go to www.bikesportmichigan.com and read Tom Demerly's review of this bike. I agree with every word he says. This is a stunning, well built, high-performance bike but no frame is worth $4200...which is why I bought mine on eBay for $2000 and built it up with top drawer parts.

Strengths:
Material (Ti rules), aerodynamics, functional design

Weaknesses:
price, weight
