Solid, with not-so-great wheels

The bike is quick and fun to ride with touring capabilities. Components and frame are solid. I have enough gearing to do some monster climbs unencumbered.

As noted, it has weaknesses as a full on touring bike. Brakes are weak compared with cantilevers, I had significant wheel issues (dealt with to my satisfaction by REI), the rack eyelet placement makes it tough to fit a rack without interfering with the brakes.

It would totally earn 5 stars with better rims and canti brakes. A good bike no less.

Makes commuting fun

I have several hundred miles, a little over 500, on this bike at this time. It took about that long to get the comfort factor right, including breaking in a Brooks saddle. If you've ever done that, you know it takes a couple of hundred just for that.

It makes a great commuter, Surprisingly easy for me to transition form my '70s and 80s down tube shifters. The Sram shift really smooth, so going from a 12speed to 20speed was nothing. I really like this bike for an all-around, get-around bike.

Love it so far

I'm very happy with this bike so far. It's my first road bike so I don't have much basis for comparison but I've been really enjoying it. I've been using it to cruise around town and ill probably do some casual group rides as well. It's probably not ideal if you plan on doing any kind racing. My only complaint is that the fenders rattle like crazy. I'll probably take mine off.
