All the expertise here and no one has mentioned the crit setup of the frame? Steep head tube angle, no rake fork, split seat post with the rear tire pulled forward. This will corner like anything, but a mouse fart at 50 yards will blow you off course. Absolutely no easy stability for a long road ride.

That being said, I can see a lot of these being sold to top pro teams as training tools - anything to gather a bit of an edge. A second off every mile really adds up at the end of The Tour, or any tour.

I've been waiting for better disk brakes. My friend warped his on his first use, I hoped ceramic or carbon/carbon brakes would replace the steel ones.

7kg? Does this company know that weight is EVERYTHING? It's the number on which you base the quality of the bike.

I don't know about bikes, but it's certainly the number on which I base the quality of a potential date.
