Didn't really find anything specifically lacking, I like it, but when I started riding it, the clouds didn't open up and angels climb up and down a sunbeam sprinkling glitter and singing Hallelujah. Turns out I still have to push hard with my legs to make it go fast. It does do a little bit of everything (commute, climb, descend, haul, etc), but when I handle the old alu road bike and feel how much lighter it is, it does trigger a bit of wannabe weight weenie nostalgia. But mostly that lighter feeling is in the hand, not really so much on the road. But 22lbs for the old alu bike, 33 for the CC with rack/bags/lights/etc, an extra 11lbs is not nothin.
