    Price Paid:  $1299.00 at Liberty Bicycle

    Favorite Ride:
    Trek Pilot 2.1

    Bike Setup:
    Stock other than: Terry Fly saddle; NR front LED light for visibility; rear 3 pattern red light for visibility. The saddle was bought on E-Bay for $60. The lighting system was bought at Performance Bike < these guys are good! Topeak cycle computer (wirless).....semi easy to use.

    Summary:
    Nice upgrade from my other FD on my other Bike which was a Sora. Shifts easy with hardly any chain noise from making contact.

    Strengths:
    Cost..........easily shifts with minimal troubles.

    Weaknesses:
    I have had a few chain jumps........I think it was from the bike being new and just needing to be fine tuned by shop.

    Similar Products Used:
    Sora FD which was on first bike.........it sucked! But you get what you pay for.
