"In my research, this bike is the best value in the entry level category. When I go out riding with my roadie biker snob friends I have no trouble keeping up. I would definately reccomend this bike to anyone looking to get into the sport. I was even able to throw a set of aerobars on it and shorten/lower my stem for a more aero position."bengalsfan
Fit
Lots of different sizes, fast/comfortable geomotry
Comfort
Carbon fiber seatpost and fort do a great job dampening road vibrations
Appearance
I've got the black bike with red letters. It looks much more expensive then it is!
Performance
No problems keeping up with friends. Used to have a department store roadbike and it blows it out of the water. Much faster and more fun to ride.
Strengths
Weight, looks, price, preformance, climbs well, stable on fast descents, comfortable on long rides.
Weakness
The only problem Ive had with this bike is the shifters. They just dont work very well(especially on the front chainring). Ive made adjustments to the cable tension and still no better. Also dont like the tripple chain ring. Looks nerdy when riding with experienced riders and not really necessary.

Quality of Construction
I'm very happy with the way the bike was put together. The one issue I have is the cheap components. The shifters and front derailer are definately ready for an upgrade.
