I'm strongly considering purchasing this bike. I'm 5'9" so I'm pretty sure based on my fit measurements I'd be on a medium frame. I'm currently on a small Argon 18 e112 and believe I've been on a frame that's too small.
Several pros have used this bike to include Heather Jackson, Eric Lagerstrom, Michelle Vesterby and Matt Trautman.
The frame supposedly tested well for aerodynamics. It is also fully integrated. The frame weight is 2.6lbs, so it's very light and should be solid for climbs.
It has rim brakes. I have rim brake Flo 60's, so that works. I plan to buy a 105 groupset. The Ultegra is about $200 more, and 0.3lbs lighter. I'm currently running Sram 10 speed 30bb which isn't compatible with the frame which is bb86, hence the groupset upgrade. I'm also going from 53/39 11/28 to 52/36 11/30.
Does anyone have any experience with this bike as far as performance? Also, any suggestions or input would be great. Since I'm not going disc brakes which would require new wheels and I'm skipping di2, I'm saving several thousand dollars. Basically, it will serve as a superbike on a budget for me. Better than another entry level bike, but not a $10,000 loaded superbike.
