My 5900 madone was crippled so i ride a entry level 1.0 pilot and at 22lbs i fly like the devil .
I put a gel seat on it sucked from stock and changes the alex rims i had lighter rims on it and changed sora to 105 shimano and off i go with a 750 $ dollar bike that flies fast as my madone . I had all the tires and stuff in the shop so all i spend was 750 and the pilot with no changes still rocks if you have the legg power but its more a comfort road bike and worth the pay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
