"Overall not a bad bike. I had no expectations as I have no previous cycling experience. In retrospect, given my training schedule and distances I would have upgraded to a better bike. "rbean01

(3)

Quality of Construction

Beginners bike. Carbon fork, aluminum frame. sora derailleurs

(5)

Fit

good fit.

(4)

Comfort

First time on a roadbike was a bit weird. Took 2 or 3 rides of getting used to. I like the fit this bike has.

(0)

Adjustability

not sure what to put here. the seatpost is held in by an allen screw, not the usual quick release i was used to.

(2)

Durability

I've road approx 500 miles on this bike and have worn the grips down on the hadlebars and have ran into derailleur issues. The sora derailleurs are absolute garbage. Keep in mind my rides range from 1-3 hours twice a week.

(3)

Value

This is a good beginner bike, especially if you plan on maxing your training around 30 miles a week. If you are doing an olympic triathlon and will be riding 60+ miles a week, then look for a better bike. I will be upgrading in the offseason.

(3)

Appearance

Not too bad looking of a bike. Love the reflectors on the wheels...no seriously, those things need to go.

(3)

Performance

Good beginner bike. fairly heavy though.

Strengths

Excellent entry level bike for those looking to do their first tri and are not sure if they are going to like it.

Weakness

If you plan on "training" where you are pushing the bike fairly hard I would look to a better model. Definitely need to upgrade the pedals (i went clipless) seat and derailleurs if you will be training hard
