"I rode this bike on a 100 mile century ride and my butt was not the least bit sore!!! I only had on low padding shorts, too. So, this seat is just ideal for women! I received so many compliments on my bike-I LOVE IT! I added clipless pedals/shoes...."jmholmes02
Quality of Construction
My favorite frame among many brands
Fit
Just fits perfect-right off the rack
Comfort
I rode it 100 miles after three days of owning and had never rode a bike more than one hour before...I was not sore AT ALL!
Adjustability
Mine fit good off the shelf but my LBS told me simple things I could if I needed to make adjustments easily
Durability
Mine is new but I feel it is sturdy and my LBS offers free lifetime servie on the bike-a huge incentive to buy local and buy Specialized
Value
Most comfortable bike for me in this price range...even nicer than some more expensive other brands
Appearance
LOVE IT! Mine is baby pink/white with all baby pink accessories...that sold me when I walked in the door :)
Customer Service
Free lifetime at my LBS
Performance
Withstood 100 miles of rocky road, small climbs...great job!
Strengths
I sat on numerous bikes for over a month but the Specialized makes the most comfortable bike for women in my opinion. My final decision to buy the bike was that I feel the frame is better than other bikes in this price range. Just test riding sold me on the bike bc it was just as smooth a ride as full carbon Treks.
Weakness
I have never ridden a really nice bike with 'fancier' compenents. But, I like mine on this bike just fine.
