"A good basic bike for entry into triathlon while still comfortable/adaptable enough for road riding."crazyyeti

(5)

Quality of Construction

For what it is, basic road bike with Tri frame geometry and aerobars, carbon fork and carbon seatpost, it's pretty good.

(0)

Fit

buy the right size, then have it fit adjusted by a pro.

(4)

Comfort

It's a bike, silly. I replaced the stock saddle with another with more gel.

(5)

Adjustability

all bikes are pretty adjustable

(5)

Durability

seems to have lasted well so far. only problem to date is the bolt that holds the saddle clamp to the top of the seatpost broke while on a ride. I got a new one at hardware store (and I carry a spare).

(5)

Value

If you want a carbon frame, this is not for you.

(5)

Appearance

All black, even the derailleur. White handlebar tape shows dirt after a time.

(5)

Customer Service

Bicycle Village offers great service. Free lifetime basic service/tune (during winter) and free basic pro-fit adjustment.

(4)

Performance

not as light as a carbon frame, but overall a good way to get a good bike.

Strengths

reasonable basic components (Sh 105, Alex wheels), not bottom end.

Weakness

They only offered this bike for 2 years (I think), then discontinued it for higher pricepoint models.
