"I don't know if this would be the bike to pound out the centuries on (I'll have to update as I get some real miles on it), but it's light and fast which suits part time triathlon use perfectly."classic05

(4)

Fit

A very nice trade off between aggressive and comfort.

(4)

Comfort

The stock seat is a little numbing and I'm not sure yet about longer rides (>50 miles). Otherwise I would've given it a 5.

(3)

Durability

As I haven't gotten any real miles on yet, I'll have to wait on this number.

(4)

Value

For a carbon frame with Shimano 105 components I think this is a great value at $1700. The only complaint is that the stock wheels are slow.

(5)

Appearance

It looks fast.

(5)

Customer Service

Bought from Wheel and Sprocket; very helpful deciding between models and getting fitted up.

(5)

Performance

This bike is very quick and responsive. A quick turn of the pedals and you are moving, and a twitch in the handlebar and you're turning. Very, very nice.

Strengths

I hope it's Triathlons... Comfortable bike with the ability to turn it on.

Weakness

I wish it would've had better than the stock Bontrager wheels. They are noticeably slower than my previous ride.
