I have a Moto Ti "Team" that bought on the holiday sale for $2000 and received about 10 months ago. I've probably got about 2500 miles on it so far. Component-wise, you can't beat the price I paid for the full DA7800 and the Ritchey WCS cockpit is nice. My only complaint about the component spec is that the Ritchey WCS wheels were total crap, extremely flexible to the point that I could not even take one hand off the bars without feeling out of control. I replaced those with Easton Circuits and the bike turned into the bike I was hoping for. Otherwise, the only other change I made was the saddle. The bike itself is a good bike. It rides nice, seems stiff enough, and corners well. The quality of the build was good. Everything was adjusted correctly and the only real problem I had was that the headset expander plug wasn't installed correctly. I'm relatively new to cycling, so I guess you should take my opinions with a grain of salt because I really don't have much to compare it to other than the 2001 Trek 5200 I bought used and got hooked on cycling with. I'm 5-11, started at 180 lbs and now I'm down to 165, and I got the 53 cm size. This bike does everything I need and I don't feel like I'm compromising anything. Actually, I was able to replace the wheels, saddle, and just recently bought a PT rear wheel and I still probably came out ahead of other bikes with a comparable component spec. As with any bike purchase, the assembly should be checked over (which the LBS does if you buy from them).
