• My girlfriend got one of these, they are a really good deal for the price but do have some shortfalls. The wheels probably wouldn\'t do well with a heavy rider carrying a lot of gear. The components aren\'t top of the line, but it is a good bike, it rolls, it climbs, it carries stuff, it is comfortable. I\'d ride it across the country with no reservations, especially if I ditched the Tiagra STI in favor of bar-cons.
  
• i have a 2001 model that i have put over20k miles on,only problems i have had is the head of the seatpost broke loose,drilled a small hole thru both & put a small bolt thru & still working. the changes i made were a terry libarator saddle 100% happy with it.and a nashbar ATB stem 100% happy with it too.changed front crank to a 48/38/28fairly happy with this but goeing to a 46/36/26 with my 11/34 cass
  
• i have over 20k on the tiagra STI shifters & no problems yet,no one i have talked to has had any problens with them either, get a set of barcons for a back up just in case.
