"A fantastic entry-mid range bike at a reasonable price."tridantri
Quality of Construction
Held up for since Oct 2005 without a single problem regarding the frame.
Fit
Great.
Comfort
Carbon forks help to reduce road vibration. A full carbon frame would obviously be the next step up.
Adjustability
Within normal limits obviously. I've successfully ridden it with clip on aerobars.
Durability
15,000 + miles so far. Parts of the drive chain have been replaced as would be expected.
Value
At the time when I bought the bike (with Shimano Ultegra groupset) it was probably the best value mid range bike out there. Buying the equivalent Trek now is not such good value I don't think.
Appearance
Depends on your taste but I like it.
Performance
Great for the price. I've beaten plenty of people with far more expensive bikes then this one ;)
Strengths
Solid construction and a good groupset for the price.
Weakness
The triple chainset - hard to maintain good shifting. But this was a personal choice given the type of racing I like to do (ie. very hilly).
