great to see you now have a cervelo in the stable Don! your R5 will be great for those long rides you do.leximack wrote:here is my S1 after a clean
Approx 7.4kgs in current form with pedals, bottle cages, mounts etc. Awesome to ride
Will soon be adding either an r3 or an r5

Thanks. $1k is quite a good price. About the same price for a power2max meter but better product. Unfortunately, based on the information on the online store, they only have a 175mm left and I need a 172.5mm crankDr_Mutley wrote:
That's it... If u apply the supplied discount codes it come into under 1k$ apparently... Refer to here: http://forums.roadbikereview.com/hot-de ... 01181.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Wrt to the BB... The BB30 Quarq bolts straight into the BBright shell, with PF30 bearings) without much mucking around (ie no adaptor a etc)... If u were using GXP with an adaptor (ie Enduro) yes u would lose the benefits, not that you'd notice...
I will probably just go with the power2max. The only problems seems to be its sensitivity to temperature, which should not be a problem on most race days which is typically in the afternoon.

What other practical/alternatives bikes sit in this price range which I should look at?

Easy answer but what I was looking at was possibly demo ing few bikes in that range, hence the question on what other bikes stand parallel.DaveOZ wrote:Nothing. Just buy one.kunalraiker wrote: What other practical/alternatives bikes sit in this price range which I should look at?

thanks mate, have had the S1 for a while now (nearly 2 years i think??). R5 will be next, just need to find a good second hand one (new is too expensive), hardly any of them on the market.

Have recently replaced a few things, for comfort, fit, and quality. None have been done to drop weight, as I don't really care to be a weenie, as I have enough weight on myself to lose first
Changes:
- 3T ergonova team bars replaced with a 3T LTD Ergosum mainly due to comfort of the bend, and also to drop the red....
- 3T team stem 110mm -17deg changed to a plain ARX pro stem to drop the red
- Zipp 404s replaced with ENVE 65s with DT 240 hubs (because I hated the rear Zipp hub lateral play)
- Old broken Arione swapped to a new Carbon shell/railed Arione CX
White decals
Changed to Black Decals

I was also looking at the base S5 model, cannot really afford the higher ones.

No, Cervello won't allow this. Find a dealer near you and have ride.kunalraiker wrote:Are there any online stores that sell Cervelo?

Do cervelo dealers allow demo rides, I asked one here in Melbourne and they said NO.

About the Bike, firstly I loved the 51cms frame given I'am only 5'5
The bike looked and felt very compact.
This bike makes you want to go fast, rode it through both front heading and cross winds, the bike remained extremely stable.
This is smooooth, contrary to the usual notion of Stiff bikes being very bumpy, I loved the buttery ride.
I'am sold! almost

As u have found the ride is quite comfy for a stiff aero bike, as the vertical compliance of the rear triangle is quite plush. Conversely, the rear triangle of my (2010) S3 was harsh as hell, and u felt every bump, but I loved it!
