"Great bike, great price, I wouldn't get anything else. This bike will last me for a long time, just little upgrades along the way. I have switched my base bar and aerobars for the Cobra T2 set, plus carbon brake levers - I think the bike is perfect now. "hblackmon
Ease of use
Very easy adjustment from my roadie with aerobars - actually more comfortable. I gave this a 4/5 due to the adjustment for getting used to the bar end shifters.
Quality of Construction
Great bike overall. 4/5 due to a manufacturing defect with my rear wheel dropout. It just needs to be shaved down a little, to allow the wheel to slide out smoothly.
Fit
I have a 48, and it is truly a 48 for those of us shorties! Fit done by Matt Russ of the Sport Factory.
Comfort
I expected a tri bike to be less comfortable, but this is the most comfortable bike I have been on. I attribute this to the right size bike for my small frame, a great bike, and a great fit.
Adjustability
There are two positions for the seat post, which I don't see on many bikes.
Durability
No issues so far.
Value
Can't beat the price for a full carbon tri bike with ultegra parts.
Appearance
Sweet nude carbon with white lettering.
Customer Service
No customer service issues to rate them.
Performance
Granted I've ridden a lot more this year, but my times on this bike have been awesome. The transition from roadie to tri bike also accounted for some free speed.
Strengths
Carbon frame, ultegra parts
Weakness
Base bar and aerobar are aluminum
