  Whether serious roadie or newbie, this is a great bike. It has a good price with an msrp of $1200.The carbon fork helps dampen the ride. It ran smoothly over some pretty rough roads in Leavenworth. The stock  Aksium wheelset provides a fast rolling speed. . It has an impressive components package. The stock bars have just enough room to allow for aero bars. The flat design is pretty comfortable. I’m a little over 6’2 and rode both the 56 and 58, preferring the 58 because it allowed me to stretch my arms out further and get lower into cockpit for more comfort; additionally this allowed me the correct angle to really drive with my full leg stroke (more power). As a cyclist just returning to road biking it was nice to have predictable cycling, at an affordable price.
