"I was comparing this bike to other sub $1000 road bikes because I was training on a borrowed, 1 size to small, old Cannindale. I have committed to several events and wanted to enjoy the events on my very own bike. I went to get fitted at the local shop and they just happen to have this bike in my size. I road it and it felt good. I have now put over 100 miles on it including a 75 mile day and I really like it. Knowing what I know now, I would still buy this bike."schizo

(5)

Ease of use

It's like riding a bike.

(4)

Quality of Construction

Alpha White Aluminum frame with carbon fork. Seems stiff for the price. I have no complaints after 100+ miles. Components could be better.

(5)

Fit

Bike shop helped me get it setup right. It feels better than the size smaller bike I was training on.

(4)

Comfort

Had to pull the seat from my mountian bike. I like a padded seat. Everything else is great.

(5)

Adjustability

I would have to say this is the same as any other similar road bike. I made adjustments to the handlebar angle and seat position. Bar hieght can also be changed but I have not done that.

(5)

Durability

No problems so far. Many people on the Internet warmed about the tires allowing too many flats. I road 75 miles one day with no issues. The grip wrap did move a little but it has not bothered me.

(4)

Value

I could have gotten it a little cheaper but I wanted the buy local. Even with that, I think it is a good price for an entry level road bike.

(5)

Appearance

White, red and black. It looks nice with the dominate white.

(5)

Customer Service

Peyton's Bikes in Midland, TX. Good people!!

(4)

Performance

I would blame any performance problems on me. It is not meant to be a racing bike but it is fun to ride and performs well for a tour.

Strengths

Price. Carbon fork. Geometry.

Weakness

Components.
