Love my Quick CX 5. Yeah, its the entry level model, Altus groupset, mediocre front fork, but I got it at a discount at about $500, put some MTB single sided SPD pedals on with Ergon GP5 bar ends, and I can hang with the 14-16 mph roadie group I go out with on Saturday, AND ride some trail on my own on Sunday morning.

Only issue I have had is spoke breakage. Im a clyde at 260, and have broken two spokes in my first 1000 miles. Third one, and the shop said they are going to replace the rear wheel.

Otherwise, great, great entry level do it all bike that looks good, rides comfy and is an all around fun bike!
