I have had this bike for about 5 months now, the bike frame is very good (aluminum/carbon fiber forks) but the shifting componenets are not good at all, causing most of the problems... so, I would recommend this bike if you are thinking of having a good decent frame but are thinking -or would like to- upgrade the saddle, shifting components (cassette, chainrings (here is where I have had most of the problems since the material they are made of is super flexible and will bend just 'cause it feels like it, making the chain slip out of it, this happens on 40% of my rides) and front derailleur, etc) and maybe even the handlebar.
I have had a lot of fun with this bike and I have put about 2000 miles on it already, I crushed head onto a Benz SUV that cut me off and stoped suddenly and the front wheel did not budge anything and taking into consideration that I was going at least about 20 miles per hour I can honestly say I was more than expecting the wheel to get damaged (to bend like an 8). I have ridden this bike everywhere in Manhattan to around South Florida and I am very pleased with it, just take care of replacing the chainrings for something good and you'll be riding in peace...

I got this bike about a month ago and rode it just a couple of times because the weather hasn't been the best for riding. It looks nice, and its very light , the carbon fork and back part makes the ride smooth . It had a couple of things that needed to be replaced like the front tube that had a big hole before I touch the street and the plastic safety piece that is between the cassette and spokes that was moving and making a loud noise when riding. After those two things were replaced I have had no other problems bud no enough miles yet either to be able to recommend it to everyone
