I love it. I'm sure I'd love full ultegra too, and who am I kidding, I'd love dura-ace too, but for the money, this bike is amazing. I tried the model with a triple ring and 105 rear, but this double ultegra rear was SO much nicer to shift. It was worth the extra money..and still reasonable.

I swapped bars and saddle to women's. And I've got the bar phat with the gel pads (the thinner one--2mm I think?). It's great
That is exactly the bike I was looking at!

I just wasn't sure about the mixed gears... but as the bike shop said... I could upgrade later... as long as I have a solid frame to work with.

The one I tested had a triple on front... but Ultegra's on the back... not a 105.

Of course, it wouldn't be prudent of me to buy a bike... until after I pay for Grad school in Jan/Feb/March. Dang, that sounds really far away!

And, I did just buy a tri bike (only $500 though!). My boyfriend would freak if I bought a second bike 2 weeks later. Then again, he doesn't live me with...HA!

OH well, I do want to test more bikes before I buy... but this will be "on the list".
