I just bought the Aquila you got on your link. Though its a bit early to say, the quality and feel is very nice. I saw it on the website and then in the store (racer sportif Toronto) and I immediately fell in love with it. I also like the frame geometry. It is very responsive. I bought it because I wanted a bike for bad weather and winter cycling. It is no-where near as fast on pavement as my road bike of course:-). But thats not what it needs to be. I think it would make for a great commuting bike too, if you were to switch the tires. I will use it the way it is primarily for the pavement. Of course, now that I can, I will take the occasional short cut beyond the pavement:-).
