Strengths: Light, fast and easy handling, beautiful color, value for moneyWeaknesses: Altough the color is beautiful (so much better than this years white), it easily "comes off". There should have been some kind of protecting layer on top of the blue colorlayer..Bottom Line: From the first moment I rode the bike, I knew "this is the bike for me". It felt like the frame was developed directly for me. Avanti is really not common i Sweden, which is to bad.. or maybe not, it's a bike that gets noticed, wich suits my ego ;-)

Strengths: Very light, nice components, nice shocks, nice colour. :)Weaknesses: It still only goes as fast as my legs can push it.Bottom Line: Although I've only taken it out for a decent ride once so far, I was most impressed. The disc brakes are bedding in nicely, the shocks work a wonder (compared to my old Rockshox XC), and it was a bargain! Last year's model for $3,300 (australian) was a pretty good deal too.
