Comments: If you can get past the fact that this is an entry level bike, you'll see how great this bike actually is. I purchased the 1.1 as a second bike to get into road biking. I did not want to spend a fortune with that fear that I might grow tired of it and drop it all together. This bike does everything you need if you're starting out. I understand that for more money you're getting the better components and lighter frame, but for me that wasn't a huge concern. I ride with a friend who rides on a $1300 Felt bike and I'm able to keep up no problem. I haven't found a significant weight difference between the 2 bikes either. I've put about 100 miles on it so far in the 2 weeks that I've had the bike and I'm still getting completely comfortable with it. I will say this, if I knew I was going to be enjoying myself this much, I would have probably sprung for the 1.5 but I have no regrets. This bike will get me through this season and next year I can upgrade. If you're looking for an entry level bike, you can't beat this for the price.

Comments: I just renetered the bike market recently. I rode a variety of bikes before I decided on the 1.1, it just felt right. I ride 2 to three times a week, 10-20 miles. I love this bike for what it is, it is an entry level bike, it is not the Madone. But I did not want to spend that much money. If you are seriously thinking of riding a road bike give this one some serious consideration. Has not failed me yet! I love to ride this bike.
