"I realize that most of the things I complained about on this bike are easily replaceable components, but as I bought it on eBay this was how it came."runner0083
Quality of Construction
Not much to say for Tiagra components. I've had to adjust them several times. (bike has just over 1000miles on it)
Fit
As a primarily tri rider I wish it had a more aggressive seat tube angle (it is 73degrees). But the 56cm frame fits me well
Comfort
Again, I just wish the seat tube angle was closer to 77 degrees)
Adjustability
Seat has plenty of room to travel up or down as needed. An inch or so of spacers in steerer tube and invertible stem allow for a few inches of adjustability.
Durability
Have had to adjust rear derailleur several times.
Value
Hard to find a road bike for less than $600, so this seems like a good deal for a beginner.
Appearance
Bland gray paint scheme with yellow accents
Performance
Heavy (with aeros, seat, pedals about 22lbs.)
Not big enough gears requires very high cadence to maintain high speed on downhills
Strengths
1. price
Weakness
1. weight
2. spd pedals
3. way too many spokes on wheels
Ease of use
56cm frame easy to ride for my size.
