My bikes - NEWEST: Cervelo R3 Sram Force 22

[Bregnhoj]

Thanks!

And yea, they're nice. The clip system on them is shit tough - at least if you suffer a puncture.

Sup',

So for the 2014 racing season i'll need a new race bike.

I can either opt for a great deal through my new team/club on a Trek Madone 5.2 2014 with Ultegra 11 speed, or
I can choose another great deal on 2013 Cervelo R3 which would be build with Sram Force 11 speed.

They would both be aproxx. same price. Both bikes would be raced with a set of Zipp 404 firecrests.

Well i ended up choosing the Cervelo R3 and hit the buy-button today.

Hopefully it'll be home soon so i can strip it for parts and build it with Sram Force 22 and Zipp 404's.

As soon as there's some pictures to post i'll post 'em

R3 in this colour scheme is so right..

[bananasbrah]

Not ashamed to say I've been waiting to see this build. Very classy.

[Bregnhoj]

Thanks

I'm also in loooove with this paint scheme over the numerous black-on-black bikes.

The ride is very good aswell and the Sram group compliment the frame so well. I would really recommend the Cervelo R3 for anyone looking for a light and stiff ride, that is yet comfortable.

Very nice bike!
Any chance you weighted the group? I found different weights and I'm confused.

[Bregnhoj]

@Nicos

Unfortunately not. Though i'm quite sure it's sub 2 kg, everything included.

Why not install a zero offset seatpost?

[Bregnhoj]

Because i prefer a seatpost with setback
