My race bike is an 08 Soloist. It is a phenomenal crit bike. Very stiff and very quick handling. I will admit though that it beats me up a bit on long road races, particularly with the craptastic roads that are the hallmark of Velopromo/NCNCA.
If you are considering it, look very carefully at the geometry. Mine is a 54 but feels like a 52 and I needed to go with a longer stem than typical.
