I'm having all sorts of probs at the moment. My IP address has been permanently banned I can only access if I use my iPhone and turn off the wireless connection due to the IP address ban. On top of that tapatalk has been playing up also.

This allows me to bat higher than my form would suggest
Goes really well, as does the tt bike. I miss the regular tt's though

Would love to get another, for no particular reason, just so I had 2.
(but if i did get another I guess i'd really like a 2009 R3, they look so nice)

Warthog, you are one of the few people that I've seen that have put enough thought into skewer position to position them facing backwards for less drag. It won't make much difference, but it all adds up. I originally started doing up skewers this way on my MTB so bushes etc wouldn't open them while riding.

If there are only four that is because not many people are discerning.Nobody wrote:So you have three Cervelo owners on these forums. Wow, you might actually get up to four by the end of the year.

Well spotted on the skewer, I am an aero weenie . The skewer is safer from errant front wheels facing up into the rear triangle but I haven't had a problem with it like that.

Nice quarq as well. You can get a smaller top cap than std if you are struggling to get the bars low enough. The S3 looks like it had a bigger drop?Dr_Mutley wrote:i will post some pics of my rides soon... just destroyed my pride n joy (2010 S3) when i hit a car the other week... replaced it with an S5 VWD... cant say i love it, but im sure it will grow on me...
Mine is still a bit higher than the other roadie I have but it's making me change the position of the old bike as it was too low I reckon.

The top cap looks a little thicker as I have a 5mm blue bike pure spacer sitting under it currently while I play with the setup

Funnily enough I haven't been able to touch my toes since I was 10! (39 now) So I'm not flexible at all I'm 6ft1 and have long legs so hence the high saddle... I just find having the bars up very unfortable on the back and coccyx... Having a low front end allows me to stretch out and rotate my pelvis forward, which ironically is much more comfy than sitting up...warthog1 wrote:You must be flexible, your seat is a fair bit further back than mine and the handlebars are lower. I've got the seat just legal I think, haven't properly checked it yet, and have a 130mm -10 stem. I swapped the cap out as well.
I'll soon drop the last spacer out and settle on that... I just wish 3T would make a -17 deg arx alloy pro stem so I could go the white stripe instead of the red...

Snap....actually I think I'm about a cm shorter than that. Pity I don't live anywhere near you, we could have a ride of each others bikes to check out the diifferent set ups.Dr_Mutley wrote: I'm 6ft1
I have my seat forward to open up the hip angle and because it mirrors my tt bikes position which is my only meagre strength as far as cycling goes
