Pros: This bike flies and is way light! Weighs in around 18 lbs. The relatively small frame for my size(5'11") makes it stiff for sprinting and good for tight cornering. The Ti frame absorbs road shock very well and is comfortable on long rides. The brakes work excellent and are very featherweight. Speedplay pedals...I absolutely love this pedal and won't ride anything else. I have tried the rest and Speedplay is the best! The wheelset, what can I say...these babies are stiff and light. The reduced rotating weight can be felt when accelerating in a sprint or when climbing a hill. This bike is the ultimate criterium bike, but can do well in almost any type of racing(road, stage, circuit)

Cons: The shifting between a campagnolo derailleur and a Shimano shifter is not the best combination. It works, but it could work a LOT better. Shifting is not quite as smooth as a Shimano/Shimano or Campy/Campy combo but it works ok...not good...but ok. Why don't I switch...I will soon...but the Graphite derailleur looks cool on this frame! For some reason(maybe it's my fitness) I have never been able to sprint as well on this bike as I have on my Bottecchia. The steering is a lot quicker on this bike than on an italian racing bike. This is not necessarily bad or good...but it takes a little getting used to if you are coming off an italian stage racing bike.
