Portolla Loop Bike Setup:
I got the Team model (cheapest) with a 105 group, Ksyrium Equipe wheels, Profile Carbon Stryke bars. Also picked up a PowerTap wheel to better monitor training...the wires are an eyesore on the bike - recomend the Wireless model Summary:
I picked this up at Boulder Cycle sport after a very thorough fitting and it arrived a few days later from Scott looking way more radical than the pictures. The shaping of the carbon tubeset lets you know immediatly this is a bike for speed.
The Carbon frame sucks up bumps and road chatter far more than I exepected and, once you get used to manuvering at slow speeds the bike tracks very well.
When you get it out on the open road and put the hammer down - Holy CRAP! This added 2-3 MPH to my average speed - and it is even a bigger difference on the downhills. Want to hold 35MPH for a mile or two after coming off a hill? Just keep your head down and mashing that big gear.
This bike is well laid out, the Shimano drive train is flawless and is a comfortable place for a long day in the saddle - although since you will likely set a PR , it won't be that long Strengths:
Speed, vibration absorbing frame, speed, fit & finish, style Weaknesses:
Integral seat post means adjustments are made with a saw (yikes!) although there is a few cm of adjustment in the seat mount.
This saves a lot of weight - so not a bad tradeoff Similar Products Used:
Demo rode a Quintana Roo Lucero, Fuji Aloha and an aluminum Guru.
