"Overall an excellent bike. I went from an aluminum Valdora to the carbon fiber model, and avg speed went up by 2mph at same exertion levels."tkd.teacher

(5)

Quality of Construction

Very solid feeling frame, despite the lightness

(4)

Fit

It is a great fit for me, but the top tube tends to be a bit long, it might not be a good fit for people that aren't "in the norm".

(5)

Comfort

Fantastic ride. It absorbs bumps fairly well, and I get off after a couple hours still feeling pretty good.

(4)

Appearance

I really like it (Blazing orange, no longer available I believe), but it might not appeal to everyone. The new models are white/carbon, and solid red.

(5)

Customer Service

I had some questions on fitting, and got prompt emails from the owner. Plus, they are a local company and he offered to let me come in and look around if I wanted.

(5)

Performance

So far an excellent, fast and responsive ride.

Strengths

Great frame, light and very responsive. Great color (Blazing orange), mostly well designed bike. Capable of great adjustments for fit, I'm riding fairly steep and deep and one stem adjustment brought it right in line.

Weakness

Slightly odd geometry may not fit all riders, and the sloping top tube may not visually appeal to everyone. There was some initial slipping with the carbon seatpost, I have the binder post down about as tight as I dare with non-slip in it. There are two sets of cage mounts, but the size frame (Small) doesn't have enough room for a 2nd bottle to fit.
