I bought this bike on "Prime Day" and it was a great deal. Before purchasing, I looked at the option of buying a Chinese carbon frame, group set, wheelset and accessories online but this was a better option. Why? The main reason is PZ Racing sells it products in the EU. As such, they are required to meet certain standards for manufacturing and product testings. On the contrary, buying a Chinese carbon bike/frame online leaves the question of whether the carbon frame has been tested.This bike is NOT RED! It's a very pretty matted black and white.The name of the model is DR8.1I got the 51cm. I think this is a Small and not a Medium. Compact frame with 51cm seatpost C-T, Top tube is 51cm, head tube is 11cmFull Black Shimano 105s 11sp including 105 crankset and brakes. Compact crank 50-34 170mm. 11-28 cassette. 350 mm aero Carbon seatpost 203g, 100mm alloy Stem 154g. Deep alloy rims 42mm with 23mm tires and the bike has clearance room for 25mm tires. FSA headset.I used my luggage scale and it weights approximately 17.6lbs. I can take off at least another 1/2 lb changing out heavy saddle at 303g and the wired tires.If you are not familiar with assembling a bike, I would strongly recommend paying a small fee to a local bike shop to inspect, assemble, fit and deraileurs tuning for you.I will supplement this review once I have had the chance to ride it for a few weeks.Update on December 3,2015:Btw, I changed the tires and they are folded (not wired as previously noted).I also changed to a lighter set of Fulcrum 3 wheels and the bike is picking up more speed in accelerations. The OEM wheels are aero wheels but like most stock wheels are heavy at 1900g.The new 105s 11 speed components feel as good or better as the 6700 Ultegra.I am glad this bike came with 105 cranks and brakes. Otherwise, I would have spent extra $300 replacing crankset and brakes.

I'm impressed with this bike , the materials , carbon quality and everything is just perfect.The wheels come with sealed cartridge bearings, those wheels spins forever . . . I can tell you that , rear rim sounds really good when it spins. . .Shimano 105 11 speed groupset is just awesome , shifters are very smooth and with perfect precision .The bike weight without cleat pedals is 8.1 KG , which is really good for me.The saddle looks very very nice and professional.I'm so happy with my early Christmas present .I'd recommend this bike to anyone with my eyes closed . Very cheap price by the way .I got this bike for $642 free shipping , few days before it was $1800 , . . So I think I just got the deal of my life buying this bike at that price $642.Professional mechanic assembly is required.Don't look for another options , this one is just the best , for so many reasons.Thanks pz racing, you made my year .Update . 12/3/2016The bike still awesome , have 500 miles and works great .Only adjustment was the wheels , I had to tight up the spokes , which is normally on a new wheelset after few miles on the roads.Will update in few more milesThanks.
