"It's a workhorse - nothing sexy about it, just a light, stiff bike that does what it's supposed to. Probably the fact that Trek is such a huge company is what lets them make such a wide range of sizes, including 62 and 64cm which 90% of manufacturers neglect."fausto

Quality of Construction

I can't tell anything about carbon construction from looking at it. Neither can anyone else, despite what they think or tell you.

(5)

Fit

One of the few road bikes out there that fits a taller person with long legs. Available in a wide range of sizes (unlike most).

(4)

Comfort

it's fairly comfortable. I don't think this requires explaination

(5)

Adjustability

integrated seatpost scared me a bit, but there is plenty of range there.

(4)

Value

Has a lot of new/innovative features for the money

(2)

Appearance

it's a trek. It screams "Lance wannabe!" like all treks do. Only saving grace is it's not completely covered in trek logos like they did a couple years ago.

(5)

Performance

Handles well, stiff and adequately comfortable

Strengths

Very good bike for the money

Weakness

I wish Lance would stay retired and let the world return to forgetting who he was.
