magazine? I'm looking for first-hand opinions of the build quality, etc.

I recently purchased a Motobecane Century Pro. I was looking to find the Motobecane Century Team (with Dura Ace) but I was told that the Teams are not shipping yet. So, I purchased the Pro and swithced the Ultegra Groupo with the Dura Ace Groupo.

I live in Phoenix and purchased the bike from a store called Cycle Spectrum. They are a chain and have stores in Florida, Texas and Arizona. The owner of Cycle Spectrum is also the owner of the Motobecane line...and an online bike store called bikesdirect.com.

I would think that any of the managers at the Cycle Spectrum stores would have some experience with the pro.

I have found the bike to be an awesome value for the money. It is constructed well and the combination of the Kinesium frame with the carbon forks an rear stays adds a soft feel.

I have only had the bike for about two weeks but I have received a number of compliments on it.

Good luck.
