"I think its a real solid ride for an entry level bike. Particulary for someone who wants to use the bike for triathlons and group rides. More than enough machine for one's first several years competing in triathlons."mbmoran2

Quality of Construction

No issues other than a couple of flats and I broke the seatpost clamp. Easy to replace with stock item from LBS.

(4)

Fit

Good. I'm 5'10" and purchased a 56cm bike.

(4)

Comfort

Good. I did upgrade the saddle to a Specialized Alias. Also, stock included toe clip pedals. I upgraded with Look Keo pedals.

(4)

Adjustability

Only adjustments I've made is the seatpost height and pushing the seat forward as I've put in more and more miles in clip-on aero bars.

(5)

Durability

Components and Frame are holiding up nicely

(5)

Value

MSRP is $1,200. However, I got previous year model for $800. Good deal given 105/Tiagra mix components.

(5)

Appearance

Nice, black, aero-looking with minimal decal work.

(4)

Performance

I've had good experience with components (Tiagra Front Derailier and 105 Rear Derailer) - no shifting issues at all. Brakes perform well.

Strengths

Road geometry shifters and brakes with clip-on aero bars gives flexibility to go from group rides to single areobar position rides. I had no comfort issues going mostly aero in 50-70mi rides including a HIM.

Weakness

Not a true triathlon bike. NBD for most beginners in their first few/several years.
