Price Paid:  $2200.00 at Specialized

Model Year:
2006

Favorite Ride:
Roto'orangi NZ

Bike Setup:
Transition Expert, Ultegra 10 speed, ultegra brakes, Durace bar end shifters, Shimano R560 wheels and Shimano compact cranks.

Summary:
This was my first time trial bike, having done a few seasons of club racing and the occasional TT, and eanted to have a go with proper set-up. I have little experience to go by, but I have found this bike amazing - good stiffness and very comfortable. Totally converted me to riding in the aero position - I'm 5'10" on a 54cm frame, which makes it a reasonably aggressive set-up. Taken several minutes off a 28km rolling ride.

Strengths:
Stiff frame, very aero, comfortable and looks great. Fantastic Specialized Tri-specific saddle.

Weaknesses:
The seat post seems to lower on its own - had to put tape on it. Not a biggie. Would like to upgrade the wheels at some point.

Similar Products Used:
Normally ride a Giant OCR Comp with Ultegra, before that Giant OCR Zero, before that Easton frame.
