I have been on this bike for a short time but have put on about 3100 miles so far this summer. I really like the 509 and have listed the build sheet. The only thing I had built different from the Scram Force build is the wheels and saddle. I have a set of Zipp 404 on it and train with a set of Reynolds Solitude wheels. The saddle is a Fizik Tri carbon. This bike is a great bike and I would rank it with or above the Trek Madone. The bike has a great feel to it but yet it is very fast and responsive.

Interesting. First time I've heard of this company. Quickly checked out their site and they seem to build some very nice looking rides at the very least.
I'll keep an eye out for them up here in Canada. They're based out of Indiana so only a few hrs drive from where I am. Another player in the market....
I am not a big fan of the bb30 decal but it is under the clear coat and I have to live with it for now. The crank side covers the decal but the other side it stands out. The decal down the seat post looks ok but I would like it better if it was gone as well. The bike with a scram force build is light and fast. I had the AeroCat 500 before I went to the 509 and the 500 is a really nice bike as well. I work in the racing industry, not bicycle racing, and have many top athletes looking at the AeroCat products for training. I live in the same state the bikes are built in and deal direct with AeroCat. I am not a paid employee but do help them from time to time working with some of the athletes that I work with at my job. AeroCat has recently given me the powers to be to give special pricing to the racers I work with. They get a discount through AeroCat direct. I do not handle any of the transaction, only try to help get my athletes on a great bike and be cost effective. If they pick up the bike at the shop they will also do a complete pro bike fit for them. If I can help anyone with more information on the bike please feel free to ask. Just want to help out as many athletes as I can get a good deal!
I am new. Please explaine to me the meaning of the word "Shill".😕
"A shill is person who is paid to help another person or organization to sell goods or services. The shill pretends to have no association with the seller/group and gives onlookers the impression that he or she is an enthusiastic customer."
You can think what you want, I have nothing to gain from what you ride or purchase. I guess you are not use to having a honest guy offer to help so I will withdraw the offer. No problem on my part. Have fun on your next ride.
