Specialized Dolce review

Ease of installation

Already put together at the bike store.

Ease of use

I jumped on and pedaled away, during the test ride. Bought it, and once I got it home, the same thing.

Quality of Construction

The funny thing is some of the specialized bikes that are sold as commuter bikes - similar frame. This one is Women's Specific Design.

Fit

Good for road bike a lot a tweaking for a triathlon bike

Comfort

Good for an entry level road bike

Adjustability

Durability

My 'crashes' have been the forgot I was clipped in and over I went. So nothing to really report there - no problems on the frame wise. Usually my body sustained more damage than the bike.

Value

Appearance

Not too much pink - lol.
This year has purple instead of pink on black.

Customer Service

Never used always went back to the local bike store where I purchased the bike.

Performance

I am probably not the professional to speak in this area. I am still relatively new to cycling. I've seen people round corners on a clunky bike looking as graceful as a gazelle, and I am about to fall over. I am sure it has it, but try it for yourself.

Strengths

Excellent for someone not sure if they are going to do triathlons for a long period, but pretty sure they would at least keep up the cycling.

Weakness

Hard to change around if you want to add horns and a bit o' gear for triathlons
