Although not top of the range its a very good bike. The weight can be felt on reasonably steep inclines but not so much as to hinder even a professional cyclist.

For club cycling this stands out. It looks good and performs great. I haven't ha\zd a single problem from mine and performs much better than my Apollo TDF.02

The tyres where down fairly fast though this is true for all road bike and it cannot take potholes or crack in the road (lest you wish to end up on your face in the road) again pavements and edges are not good to go onto or over because this will also leave you with a nasty mess and bits of bike and bent wheels!

I am sorry but I didnt get any info about the bike except a bit of its performance. I suggest you check out other reviews on bikes so that you know what people look for in the reviews. Good luck.
