Awesome, congrats.

How do you rate the Aican cable housings? For quality and installation?

I've been using them exclusively on my bikes since they came out in 2012. Housings are among the lightest out there and I like them because they have a relatively small diameter. Been experimenting their use in conjunction with different cables (KCNC Ti, Powercords, Campy steel). So far, I've only had issues with Powercords when used for the RD -- just couldn't get it to shift properly. Aican + Powercords for FD was fine. Installation is straightforward -- but probably because this was my 4th Aican install. Feel free to PM if you have further questions.

hello,
i asked following question above, i hope, its understandable (my bad english, sorry).
thank you, regards:

"one question: are the bb- bearings pressed directly into the frame, or are there, as with "press-fit"-systems, nylon- or plastic cups (between housing and bearings)?
thanks, regards"

No worries -- I understand your question. With the R5CA, the bearings are pressed directly into the carbon frame -- no cups or housings are used. I believe this is the only Cervelo model that uses this type of BB system which is called BBRight Direct Fit. Hope this clarifies.

OMG that is soooooo nice! The paint looks amazing!! Would you mind sharing your thoughts on the Berk saddle, is it quite stiff or is there some flex to make it more comfy?
