Price Paid:  $800.00 at eBay

Favorite Ride:
Out in the country

Bike Setup:
Medium frame
Stock (great stuff; Ultegra, Mavic Cosmos, Continental Grand Prix 3000 tires)
Women's specific saddle

Summary:
Bought this for my fiancee to replace her first bike, the obligatory Trek 1000. It was used (a great deal at that price) but everything works great. The bike is really light, just under 18 pounds. She loves it. The ride is great for aluminum, probably the smoothest riding aluminum frame I have tried (all of the various curves in the seat and chain stays are amazing to look at). Compact geometry is perfect for her. It is so effecient that she does not miss the triple chainring she had on her old bike.

Strengths:
Light weight
Smooth ride
Excellent value (good components)

Weaknesses:
None so far.

Similar Products Used:
Trek, Cannondale, other Litespeeds.

Price Paid:  $1700.00 at Strictly Bicycles, F

Favorite Ride:
Northern Bergen County, 9W from Alpine to Bear Mountain

Bike Setup:
Mavic Cosmo Rims, Continental Grand Prix 3000 tires, Carbon Fiber fork, aluminum compact frame (Medium Size, all Ultegra components

Summary:
The bicycle is an excellent machine. It possesses the qualities one expects from an aluminum bicycle, particularly with compact geometry. It is excellent for climbing, and handles very well on fast turns. It does not however give a harsh ride. I have ridden two half centuries, a 62 mile ride and one century on the Capella without feeling "beaten up". (I use 700 x 23 C tires, and ride at 120 PSI. I use Mavic Cosmo rims.) The carbon fiber fork and comfortable saddle probably help smooth the ride. I have 900 miles on the bicycle, and the Ultegra Components have worked very well.

Added information: I use the medium Size frame.

Strengths:
Excellent on climbs and excellent handling on high speed turns.
Ultegra components.

Weaknesses:
None so far.

Similar Products Used:
Specialized triple sirrus Cro-Moly Steel bike.
