"A good climber and great value! Not an areo bike, but a true all-rounder.

This would be a bike for all very highest end connisseurs. Unless you're a name snob there is no reason to pay much more for a bike that probably won't be a whole lot better."csainthenry

Ease of use

The Shimano components are time tested, and their ease-of-use is well documented

(5)

Quality of Construction

No blemishes that I can see.

(5)

Fit

The Large compact geometry fits me great; my LBS adjusted my stem length and seat height and all is well.

(4)

Comfort

It's aluminum so the ride is a little harsh, but the carbon post and fork help a bit, and the fit is good for me.

(5)

Value

Ultegra/Dura-Ace for $1600?? A smokin' deal.

(5)

Appearance

The red/black/white/silver just looks fast.

Strengths

Good fit for the right body. A decent component spec, killer for the cost.

Rides very poredictably in all conditions.

Weakness

105 brake calipers when everything else is quite high end; the do stop the bike, though.

Ksyrium Equipe's are great for training, but aren't aero or light enough for tri or road racing.
