"Really good deal on Javelins mid level tri bike."Cashmason

Quality of Construction

Seems like a well built triathlon/ time trial bike. Rear Hub is noisy. If you coast/ freewheel at all, your riding partners will hear it.

Customer Service

The guys at the Javelin shop were very helpful.

Performance

Climbs well. Does not have the top end speed of a bike with regular length cranks on the flats.

Strengths

Has a 50 34 compact crank and climbs surprisingly well.

Great bike for the price. Normally lists for 1600 dollars, but they were blowing out inventory.

Weakness

Noisy rear hub.

Campy Veloce parts, which is good and bad. The quality of Campy parts is good, trying to find spare parts is expensive and generally not in stock. Parts have to be ordered.
