at Bike Show Toronto Model Year: 2006 Favorite Ride: Wellsely and Bamburg Bike Setup: Ksyrium Elites, Pizzaz Carbon Post, KHS Stem, full 105 components, Selle San Marco SKN Seat, 105 pedals, Summary: So far the bike has been great. It is stiff enough for my 6'5" 200lbs body and not to harsh and stiff that you feel every bump. I picked it up at the Toronto Bike show for a great price $1250. The 2006 still had the full carbon frame unlike the 2007 and 2008 which have carbon fused with aluminum frames. This is actually the same frame as the KHS Team bike. Strengths: Great compact frame that is stiff but not a harsh ride. 9 speed 105 components perform smooth and the Selle San Marco seat is comfortable. Weaknesses: Had to replace aluminum seat post provided as it was to short so I put on a Pizzaz carbin which is great, also the Tektro Brakes are usless so I replaced them with a set of 105's that I had kicking around and are much better. Also just replaced the WH R500 wheelset as it is far to sloppy under any form of load. Hopefully the Ksyrium Elites perform better. Similar Products Used: Bianchi Race
