"This is a great entry level TT/Tri-bike, if you don't have big bcks to spend I would reccommend it. just make sure you have a good bike shop to fine tune your fit"ump107

(4)

Quality of Construction

Built well fell over a couple of times when not clipping out correctly and suffered no dammage.

(4)

Fit

Fit is good, keeping in mind this is mostly due to the bike shop taking correct measurements.

(4)

Comfort

I have found the stock saddle comfortable. And now that I am getting more used to the Aero position,the bike is quite comfortable.

(3)

Adjustability

Without the proper tools seat adjustment is a bit of a challenge. The carbon seatpost can be dammaged if it is overtightend.

(4)

Durability

I have fallen over adn wacked a few pot holes with no negative results.

(4)

Value

For a last years model the price was good I can;t complain, if i had more money to spend i would have gone with the 2009 model.

(4)

Appearance

Color is Blue, Pearl and black, looks nice

Performance

I did my first race in a moderate rain the end of September with the stock tires the bike did well stopping and hanlding were good given the road condtions. On good dry ground this bike is excellent and handles very well.

Strengths

Solidly built bike. I have ridden several hundred miles on this bike since I purchased it and have had no problems. The roads I ride aren't the in the best condition and the bike has held up to the rough roads.

Weakness

You really can't adjust the fit without having the right tools (torque wrench) however with a good bike shop you can overcome this.
