Strengths: Comfortable and stiff. Light and aero for an aluminum frameWeaknesses: It's my first TT bike so I have nothing to compare it to. So no complaints here.Bottom Line: Stiff and comfortable. This is my first TT bike. I had been riding a road bike converted to a Tri/TT bike. I thought that I'd be uncomfortable with the aggressive TT positioning, but this bike is comfortable enough that I stayed in my aero position majority of the time for the Century that I did.

Strengths: Style, weight, comfort.Weaknesses: Has taken several tries to get the fit down.Bottom Line: This is actually a 2008, purchased 3/09 at $1000 savings. I love this bike. I just upgraded from a Trek 1200 (2001) aluminum with aero bar clip-ons to this beautiful bike. I'm still keeping it in the house, can't stand to put it in the garage just yet. My speed increased 2-3 MPH with no extra effort. It's a head turner too. I'm passing people now that used to speed past me. I have the small, fits 5'6" female comfortably.

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.Bottom Line: 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.
