"Just got mine as a graduation present. Only have about 50 miles on it. [$]. I test road the fuji team rival, the scattante carbon, and a GT. This had the best component spec with the 09 rival. It is awesome. I love the compact handle bar, very comfortable to ride in the drops with. I am 5'7" and I went with the small perfect fit. With pedals (wellgo w44) it comes in at 17lbs 12 oz (small). Very responsive and fast, I was riding steel with shimano 105 before, this bike is more compliant than the steel, and not near as flexy at the bb. With the bike fully loaded with water bottle, pump, and seat bag it is still about 3 lbs lighter than my last bike. Not a big fan of the white bar tape, but not hard to change."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
