Price Paid:  $9000.00 at LBS South Coast NSW

Model Year:
2005

Favorite Ride:
Up, then down Macquarie Pass, 10km- a 600m climb. Through sub tropical rainforest and eucalypts.

Bike Setup:
Full Campy Record.
Mavic Kysrium SSL- race
Campy Sirocco- commute
Easton EC90 forks
Easton EA stem, seatpost, bars.
Brooks Swift- yep, I'm old!
Look KEO

Summary:
I have raced this bike at local and regional level. Our local road race road can only be described as very poor- lots of potholes and very poorly maintained, by local authorities. I used this bike as my regular 50km commuter too.
It is beautiful to ride- compliant, climbs effortlessly and gets up and goes when asked.

Strengths:
Compliant, shock absorbing frame and forks (Easton EC90). Fitted with Mavic SSL Kysrium wheelset, climbs beautifully. Descends with confidence and surefooted.
Handles bumps without any problems, the frame just absorbs them.

Weaknesses:
Price- OUCH!, But my last bike (steel 80's) lasted 20yrs, so this one should too, thats why I bought titanium.
But no weaknesses when riding.

Similar Products Used:
Its tough upgrading from a VW to a Porsche- not!
