Bought the bike because the price with the component package attracted me as someone starting to get into biking. Trained for and completed sprint tri and have done a 60 mile ride on it and am very impressed with the ride for the amount paid. Light and responsive, add the aero bars and tilt the seat forward and it is a great beginning/mid level tri bike. Would add the plush seat, the stock saddle is okay. The Shimano 105 rear de-railer acts like it wants to jump a gear in the middle of the gears occasionally, it never has, but this was a knock on that product in on-line reviews. But, would recommend this bike, even if I upgrade the components, the frame looks great and it is fun to ride. Thanks for a great deal.
