Cons:the saddle is pretty bad (in my opinion) ive put some miles on it now and compared to my other bike it just doesnt cut it.

Neutral:pedals are included but cages are a bit dated and while you dont normally get pedals anyway with other name brand bikes... Read More

I bought it in july 2019 and had my local bike shop put it together for me just to be safe and make sure it was done properly

I make sure to clean it well after each ride especially now that it was carbon fiber wheels which are not as durable as the aluminum wheels it came with
