Very nice bike for the money. Great Shimano Ultegra components. Carbon stays and fork plus lightweight aluminum frame. Plus you get carbon handlebars and very nice Mavic wheels. Excellent package for the money. I do not think you will be dissapointed with this bike. You can pay alot more and not get the Ultegra components or as nice of a wheelset that comes with this bike.

Bike is really made by Kent Bicycles (Who???) and rebadged and marked up in true GM fashion. For the price of this bike you can get full carbon and Dura Ace from a reputable brand from your local bike shop.

As state above, this is a Kent bike. For the money, you can easily get into a full carbon bike. Trek, Giant, Felt, Cannon dale, you name it they have a comparable bike at this or a lower price. Better warranties, better accessories, easier to find parts. Do yourself a favor and go to a real bike shop and see what a quality bike is like. Many shops have used bikes that are in great condition, don't buy junk off the internet.

With a price tag like this you're probably thinking you should go with a more well know bike name like Cannondale or Specialize. But you will be paying for the same high quality parts including Shimano Ultegra shifters and derailleurs, Mavic wheels, FSA Carbon handlebars and Deda carbon seats and forks. I did some comparison before purchasing this bike and realized that the high quality Shimano Ultegra parts that are all over this bike is the same on any of the other bikes for more money. All parts including the carbon seat post can be found on other top quality bikes. If you are not a bike nut and you simply want to get a bike without going to a bike shop for the spandex wearing bike dudes to blur your vision with bike BS then get this bike. It comes in a box almost completely assembled. You only need to attach the front wheel and be on your way. What's better than doing it yourself even if you only have to do 5% of the work.

Make no mistake this is a top quality road bike and you are sure to turn heads with the Cadillac name on a super good looking bike. The best part you may find your self in a 30,000 bike-a-thon being the only one riding one of these...sweet.

I have had this bike for over 4 months, I have ridden it for just over 1200 miles since I got it and it performs superbly. Very light and very fast. The only thing I would change on this bike is the saddle, and I have changed it for a more comfortable gel saddle for long distance century riding.
