'A TOUGH ENTRY LEVEL ROAD BIKE'
Strengths:
This baby is tough! She takes what you give her! The women's specific fit is comfortable. The carbon forks and seatstays provide good buffering. The Shimano triple chainset provides a variety of gear choices for any and all of your needs. I like the silver paint job.
Weaknesses:
To be tough, comes weight. I found it slightly heavy, however nothing substantially worrying. The tyres ware quickly with commuting. The saddle is slightly too large with allot of padding. The running gear is affordable.
Overall:
Overall a strong, responsive, nice looking beginners bike at a good price.
