Well, trigurl....

the bike shop buddy has spoken....

He's got an Eclipse and loves it, but his has campy and he likes the shifting of ultegra better. He said an Eclipse with Ultegra would be PERFECT. Since it is steel and carbon fibre, it's a great bike with a smooth ride.

The Xenith, being all carbon, is a heckuva bike, but he's not sure who needs such a high-end bike! Don't get me wrong, he'd be drooling over it if you bought it, but he thinks the Eclipse is an over-all better deal for a really great bike.

Have you taken one out for a ride yet?

Good luck with your decision!!

Namaste,
