Summary:
I purchased the 2008 model and have been totally impressed. The transition from a road bike to my first tri bike has been very easy. This is a very steady bike ( I tested a Felt and seemed like I was fighting the bike to keep it straight), even in the aero position and I can feel the difference already in the speed I can attain in the flat, straight stretches compared to traditional road bikes. I have heard a lot of complaints about the wheel set from other riders but I have put in a lot of miles already and not had any trouble with this and found this to be a solid bike that I will get plenty of use out of.

Strengths:
Steady, smooth ride

Weaknesses:
Sluggish on up hills
