Strength:

Turns much easier than my other road bikes --lean and countersteer--as comfortable as my steel in that the impact maybe a little more but minimal vibrations.. rides nice and straight when hammering Way cool near mirror finish... Much stiffer BB than the new Univega Can feel the difference in accelerating CHEAP!!!!! CHEAP!!!!!

Weakness:

NONE...unless you want name brand... only comes in 1 inch

Some qualifications--I am 185Lb, I pedal in squares-and mainly mtb. Been riding a steel Thron tubed Univega x 1yr, and before SL Stowe X 10yrs --never ridden any other road aluminum, or ti or CF(maybe I am missing out on something?) Love it....especially going downhill..use a lot less braking going into a corner I am sure Cannondales or any others will ride as nice (maybe nicer?) but this frame is less than half priced.. Bianchi Megatube copy... 3.6lb frame paid $225 +$20shipping
