Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I've translated a couple off their website and checked out the Cycling News review. The component group on the Team bike is actually a bargain for what you get (Lightweight Wheels, Ergomo, Record, Etc). I like the geometry, weight and stiffness and would be OK with the quick handling; I was mostly interested in any negatives or quality control issues that might have popped up during the tests, and in getting feedback from actual owners.

The only thing that raises my eyebrow thus far is the flattened seat tube area by the hanger, it would seem to be a stress point and a tad non-aero.

Appreciate any feedback you might be able to provide. Thanks in advance.
