"I love this bike. It makes my aluminium mountain bike (a yr 1999 specialized rockhopper) feel it is made of lead."spleem
Ease of use
Once you're over the initial shock of how light it is (and the perception that it might be fragile as a result), its an easy bike to jump on and get going. I had not had a road bike for 20 years so having the brakes so far away was a design challenge for me, but thats me rather than the bike.
Quality of Construction
Beautifully made, great looking machine.
Fit
Perfect.
Comfort
Extremely light and once you hit the sweet spot with the gears, it is very very fast. I took minutes off my PB on the ride home from work today without really trying that hard.
Adjustability
All can be changed as you'd expect. Cant see anything I would particularly change at this stage. Have just received 2010 Look Keo 2 Carbon pedals which I will fit next weekend.
Durability
Carbon so however durable that is over time.
Value
I got £600 off the price so no complaints there
Appearance
Looks great, the carbon is very well done compared to others I looked at.
Customer Service
Wiggle.co.uk - didn't process my order for a few days, bike took closer to a week rather than the 2 days they advertised. No big deal but if you're keen to get your bike then days make a difference!
Performance
Very quick bike, the light weight takes some getting used to initially when out of the saddle
Strengths
Fast! Seriously quick bike compared to my mountain bike, what a difference first time I used it yesterday.
Weakness
Shimano Ultegra Sl gears need to be checked by the bike shop as they are hard work to shift easily. Just a bit of a tweak needed I think.

Ease of installation
Apart from gears which I will get adjusted, everything else fine.
