I bought one just this summer. I purchased the Pilot 5.2 s.p.a. WSD. The LBS ordered her in (her name is Ariel) for me to try and much to my surprise I really liked her. I had previously owned a Trek 1500 WSD and did not like this bike & its road feel at all. In 2004 I had purchased an Airborne WASP (hence my avatar) and put over 4000 miles on it last year. I went with a friend to look at bikes back in the spring and he was looking at a Pilot. I really liked what I saw and finally by June I had convinced myself to give one a try ... and the rest is history. This bike is the first road bike that I can comfortably ride in the drops for extended periods of time.
