Ease of use
Being new to biking on a road bike I could not find the gears. Being a guy I had to fool around a while until I found the high gear THEN read the manual to find the low gears (gears change by moving the brake levers sideways).
Quality of Construction
For the price I you cannot go wrong.
Fit
I thought I was getting a 60cm (noted as the XLarge) but came as a 58cm. I think I got lucky on this being I am 6'2" and the bike fits fine.
Comfort
Great velo seat and no soreness ever.
Adjustability
The handlebars are tappered so the aero bars that came with the bike are very difficult to keep in place. I jimmy rigged the bars and keep having to tighten them. The only regret on the whole bike so I am looking for another option on bars which may correct this.
Durability
Not a problem so far.
Value
Fantastic except for the aero bars and handles the do not go with each other.
Appearance
Cool.
Customer Service
Bought on Ebay from Chicabike. Perfect from order to receipt.
Performance
For the money great
Strengths
I did not want to break the bank by starting into triathlons for the first time. It seemed that you needed to spend $1,000 (after add-ons) to get a decent bike bought this one fit the bill and saved me $375.00.
Weakness
The aero bars and tapper of the bike handles.

Ease of installation
It came mostly assebled in the box and the instructions took care of the rest. The comment from the seller was that it would allow me to get to know the bike and she was right.
