Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The bike rides very smoothly and i have not had issues with any of the components. The fit and finish on this bike is excellent. Saddle is super comfortable.

Most entry level carbon fiber bikes from the big brands (specialized, trek, cannondale) are expensive. I was hesitant to spend that much on my first road bike. Shifters work amazing. Sleek, fast and worth the price.

Wheels and tires arent terrible however they are a little heavy if you care about things like that and i had to put liners in c...  Read More

I had to send it down to our bike shop here and spent an additional $80.

Competitiveness


I was looking at treks but didn’t want to wait and this105 carbon is a better bike!


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.


I never owned a road bike before and the only other bike that i've owned is a hybrid commuter bike.


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
