"I beautiful, high performance bike that sucks up miles in grace, style, and comfort. Riding over rough pavement is no longer abusive, high speed cornering is precise, stable, and composed - almost boring. It is expensive though, so you can be sure to be the only one in the pack on one. "D.Z.

Quality of Construction

So far, beautiful. I haven't found any obvious manufacturing issues, and the bike is stable at up to 50mph (downhill).

(0)

Fit

Fits me good.

(5)

Comfort

Comfort so far is excellent.

(4)

Adjustability

I'll give it a high adjustability because some have a low adjustability - like the integrated seat post on the Willier.

(2)

Value

I could have spent less money and gotten similar performance. But it wouldn't look as good, and I wouldn't love it as much.

(5)

Appearance

Incredible. It is beautiful beyond words - even non-cyclists love it.

Customer Service

Never used.

Performance

It's on the heavy side for a bike in this price range, but for touring bikes, it's probably in there with the rest of them. Cornering is stable and predictable, acceleration is excellent, but not like a Cervelo. However, this is far more comfortable on rough terrain.

Strengths

Comfortable, beautiful beyond words, and stiff. Getting out of the saddle to stand on the pedal results in the front wheel coming off the ground. It is so responsive and stable at all speeds, it is truly amazing. It will also be unique in any group of riders.

Weakness

Price. As I mentioned above, I probably could have spent less money and gotten similar performance out of an Orbea, or a Specialized. But neither tugged at my heart strings like the Pinarello.
