Summary: Bought this bike 3 weeks ago, absurd value!
Really smooth ride. Was nervous about buying without test ride but have been really impressed. Frame is in very good shape all over. Wheels are heavy (but so am I!) slightly let down by the crankset, The frame is compact geometry ,so sizing is less exact and is not for pros also explains a lot to do with the price,but lucky for me it fits well. Have seen a few comments by suspicious types ,but all I can say is the value is ridiculous. can post pics
Strengths: Value!!!!
Smooth titanium ride
great parts (mostly)
Awesome bike for someone looking to spend under $2000.
Weaknesses: Wheels could be spec'd up
Compact Geometry not for everyone
crankset

Bike Setup: Reynolds Ouzo Full Carbon Fiber Fork W/ Carbon Steerer
Shimano Ultegra 10 Speed Group
FSA Handlebar, Stem, and Headset
Carbon Fiber Seat Post
Mavic Open Pro Rims W/ Ultegra Hubs
Selle Italia Fluid Saddle
Summary: I ordered this bike at rscycle.com, it comes with the 10 day money back test period I figured it would be ok. Their pro build pre-install makes assembly a snap, even for a novice. I read lots of reviews and test rode a couple of comparable models (Litespeed) before buying. I think I got a great value. This is a versatile bike and perfectly suits my needs, not a big brand name but the quality is excellent. It just flies down the road and is really smooth.
Strengths: Light and stiff. Great for long rides or powering through fast workouts.
Weaknesses: Bike graphics shown on website are different than what is actually shipped (older model?) I'm not crazy about the handlebars, drops aren't utilized much.

Bike Setup: Dura Ace STI shifters, FD, RD, cogwheel 12-25, Tommaso carbon seatpost, Selle Italia Carb C2 TransAm Special Edition Saddle, Truvativ Rouleur Carbon Crankset 53/39, Reynolds Carbon fork with Tommaso carbon frame.
Summary: This bike is a beauty to behold right out of the box! My cycling buddies just stared in the solemn silence of disbelief, awe and perhaps a little jeaulosy. My mechanic assembled it in less than 45 minutes (to my delight).
After the assembly it only required a little adjustment of the FD.
Strengths: Neatly and carefully packaged. Delivered as promised in a timely manner- via UPS (free delivery).The bike is light in total weight- <16 pounds!!! (15.6 lbs. without pedals). Stiff frame, responsive in accelerations and ascents, yet comfortable in 5-6 hours of hard rides.
A beauty to behold without getting tired or bored!
The FSA RD 400 wheels are smooth and fast! For this price, you will be getting the frame and fork for FREE.
Weaknesses: Not a big player brand name. Not built in Italy; it is built in China (I chose to remove the sticker!)
