Well I have taken ownership of the bike and I must say ALL of my hopes and expectations have been realized. This bike is fast AND comfortable and smooth. Not sure if it's the carbon frame or the zertz inserts but after a few rides on my regular circuit it is more comfortable than my 8.3 DS. And I have shaved 3mins off of my total time and increased my avg speed and cadence. So if someone in the future is wondering whether they should make the upgrade from alloy to carbon? I say JUMP
