The geometry just may have been off for me. I have a hip condition that seemed to bother me more on this bike. I think it had more to do with me and my physiology than the bike. I also did not get a fitting done with it...I used measurements from my fit on Madone and maybe that was the wrong thing to do. When I had three bikes and one needed to go I went with the heaviest of the bunch and the one I felt least connected to. I don't blame the bike for my shortcomings.
