Very nice, mind if I ask how much the paint job cost ( feel free to tell me to mind my own business). I've got Super Six HM Team frame with a paint scheme I'm really not convinced about.

I feel fine sharing the costs for the paintjob. Since I work in the industry I got a fine discount normal paintjob for frame, fork and seatpost would be 500,- euro excl. vat. Is is with full warrantee on the paintjob (Cervélo's warranty is gone).

Thanks for you comment :noidea: Cost of what, Please use complete sentences, makes members feel a lot more taken serious.


Cost? Well what is everyone commenting on here? Surely u could fire up a few synapses and work that out yeah?

Anyway... I was interested in the cost of the custom paint job as IMO it looks very nice... But quite frankly I don't give a toss now... Is that enough sentences?

Sorry drmutley, I guess I just don't like the posts that only ask for the costs instead of sharing their thoughts on the overall build. I'm sorry for my reply.

Thanks for your reply. as you read above the custom paintjob would costs 500,- euro excl. vat. for the frame, fork and seatpost to be painted. I included the handlebar (and painted the stem myself).

It 'simply' looks amazing, I don't really understand the whole colour debate. Each person has their own taste.

Is the entire warranty voided, including manufacturing defects?

They didn't Said it word-by-word but Yes the entire warranty is voided. From their point of view sanding and/or painting might affect the carbon and since they don't have any control on it, warranty is gone.i think I can understand and accept it, despite much more can be said About it.

Does repainting the frame Void the warranty?

Hi, Nice build up. Love the black and white colorscheme, but personnaly would have gone with the white Zipp's.

What about the riding?
Are those Zipp's any good? :lol: I haven't decided yet on my wheelset, but I do like the Firecrests... But the braking for everyday use?!

I've just bought a S3 too. But I keep the original colors! :D

We are at weight weenies, right?
So, the QUESTIONS are:
- what was the original weight of the frame?
- what is weight after re-painted?

Could You please make some comparisson of handling differences between the Scott Foil and Cervelo S3?
Front end stiffness, comfort...?
Thank You!

have used 404, 303 and now 202 FC all with zipp platinum pro pads and can say that braking is very good, dry and wet

and, wet braking does not produce this filthy smudge as aluminium does

have seen a zipp wheelset that has been used in cross for a whole season and brake tracks look like new
