Good Points
105 shifts fine to a newbie and bike still feels like new after 2000 miles. Seat felt comfortable from the get go. Bike is light enough. This thing is smooth. Bumps are absorbed and all but the largest shocks aren't even felt.
Bad Points
Lower end brakes don't work that well. Stock wheels too heavy. At centuries, you see that many of these were sold. That's bad if you want exclusivity but good if you like to make conversation. It's a liitle heavy for carbon- I think it's the weave.
General Comments
Replaced wheels with Mavic Ksyrium equipes and made a big difference in speed, feel and looks. Having ridden for a while, I wish I'd bought a double but in the early days, I sure needed that small gear. Not used now. Bike is attractive.
