Here's my ride for the 2015 season:
2014 Cervélo S3 54cm Frameset
- 3T Stealth Ergonova Team 42cm
- 3T Stealth ARX Team 110mm
- Cervélo Carbon Aero Seatpost
- Fizik Kurve Chameleon Saddle
- 2012/13 SRAM Red Groupset
- Rotor 3DF 172.5 Crankset
- Rotor PF30 BB
- LOOK Keo Max 2 Carbon
- 56mm (27mm Wide) Carbon Tubular Rims
- Novatec A291SL/F482SL Hubs w/ Sapim CX-Ray Spokes
- Continental Competition 25mm Tubular Tires
- Lizard Skin DSP 1.8mm Bar Tape
- Arundel Mandible Oil Slick Cages x 2
- K-EDGE Garmin Mount
- Garmin Edge 500
Weight - 15.4 lbs or 6,985g w/ K-EDGE mount and Bottle Cages
Used to ride a Cervélo S5 Team, but switched to the R5 VWD due to the better stiffness and overall ride quality. However, the S3 seemed like a perfect blend of the aero benefits of the S5 and the ride quality of the R5. I've only been on a couple of rides, still pretty cold in Toronto, and its about a pound heavier than my previous R5, but so far its been as advertised.

+1 on this. I am looking to get the same hubs on a wheel build in the future so would love to know how you are getting on with them. Do they have a loud freehub?
Bike looks stunning by the way, there's nothing I would change on it.

@newforker @burglarboycie
I've had these wheels for about half a season and no problems with them so far. The rims are definitely much better in the cross winds than the pair of standard V-shape 50mm tubulars I've had in the past. There can be a tiny bit of brake rub when out of the saddle, but you'll get that from most deep carbon wheels. The hubs have been great - no issues with them so far. As for the noise of the freewheel, its moderate. Not too loud, not too quiet. I do however prefer a louder freewheel so take that as you will. Honestly, for the price I paid, which was about $460 USD shipped (no taxes or duties on delivery), I don't think you can beat the value. Hope that helps !
Thanks for the comments ! Thinking of making a few changes ... Waiting on a good deal for Fizik Aliante and possibly some aero road bars ...

Simple, no non-sense, nothing terribly exotic. Nicely done, sir. Enjoy riding it!

@Monkeyboy3333 - I ordered them from Rae at carboncycles@163.com Not sure if that's still the contact or email but give them a try. They have an eBay store but direct contact got me exactly what I wanted and a better deal. Good luck !

Do you mind sharing your saddle height from the center of BB?
