"Could not be happier with this bike. It's fast. I'm constantly PRing regular training routes. Can't wait to race on it.

disclaimer: I was sold the bike at a discount by Trek."marmadaddy

Quality of Construction

Earlier problems with the 2011 model seatposts have apparently been rectified. I can't find anything that even hints at less than top notch construction.

Comfort

Shortest amount of time it's ever taken me in a fit to get comfortable. Upper body fatigue is basically non-existent so far.

Appearance

The designers did a great job here.

Performance

Fastest bike I've been on.

Strengths

Value: It's a lot of bike for the price. Carbon frame, Bontrager race wheels, mostly Ultegra, DA shifters, Bontrager Race lite brake levers (I hate the short brake levers found on some other bikes).

Handling: lower bottom bracket than most. The benefits were more noticeable than I expected.

Design: this bike just looks badass. This is very important to you. Don't lie.

Duotrap sensor is a great idea and well executed.

Weakness

Accessories: Could have used more attention to detail. The special "aero" bento box is too small to be of use. The cover of the Speed Box will fly open and spill it's guts at the merest hint of a bump in the road.
