For the money, this bike is easily a sure buy. I went into my research on a $800 max budget, knowing that the budget would limit me to entry level rides. I never expected to get an aluminum frame this light and tires so responsive for my budget. I am very pleased.

I did some tweaking, of course, on the gears and brakes. Components are entry level, but very adequate, especially for the money. Why spend $1000 on an equivalent with a larger bike company? I can always upgrade components over time.

Regarding that, expect to need additional padding on the handle bar and plan to upgrade the saddle within first year. Unless you need high performance gears (which is doubtful if you're shopping in this price range), plan to be fully satisfied. (Posted on 6/22/09)

I ordered this bike, and an identical smaller version for my wife about 3 mos ago and have put several hundred miles on it so far and it's been great. I purchased some clipless pedals from Bike Nashbar for about 25 bucks that matched the system on my mountain bike and I was good to go. It's light years ahead of my 20 year old road bike I initially tried to bring out of retirement. The Shimano components are lower end but very adequate and have performed well so far. I've got my first triathlon scheduled in one week and I look forward to passing a lot of 1k and higher priced bikes over the course of the race. I have no complaints so far and would recommend this bike to anyone who would like to get into road biking and triathlons without breaking the bank. (Posted on 5/31/09)

I was unsured, but I was glad I did. It turned out just perfect.
Thank you Gavin. (Posted on 5/25/09)

The bike is simply fantastic, the local professional bike shop is very impressed. (Posted on 5/1/09)
