AI-Summary
Pros
- Loves the look of the frame with big aero tubes and interesting angles
- Disc brake design saves money by wearing down pads instead of carbon rims
- Easy to set up with internally routed cables and low maintenance once built
- Comes with integrated bar/stem combo and internally routed cabling
- Includes seat post with forward/back adjustment for fine-tuning position
- Frame has a three-year warranty and is UCI approved with proper testing
- High quality paint job, finish, and geometry
- Handlebar/stem combo feels really stiff with no flex
Cons
- Dreads future maintenance like changing headset due to internal routing
- Dislikes the rubber cover on the seat post clamp, calling it a 'horrible bit of rubber' that spoils the aesthetic
- Concerned about the tiny bolt on the seat post
- Uncertain about cable shifting smoothness with internal routing due to potential sharp angles
