Used to ride a Cervélo RS, but it got killed in a major crash last summer. Someone went down in the middle of the peloton at high speed, taking at least 15 of us with him.
While waiting for my scaphoid to heal I got this frame through crash replacement. I wasn't a fan of the black and blue 2014 paintjob, so I was very pleased when this frame showed up.

Beautiful bike! I have the same frame but in the 105 colour scheme. I want to upgrade it into a racier machine and yours is pretty much exactly what I'm after. I want to upgrade the wheelset to some carbon hoops but there's not a lot of rear tire clearance on this bike and the non-drive side chain stay is wider than the other making even tighter. Do you know the width of your Reynolds? What tire size are you running? Have you had any clearance/rubbing issues?

I'm trying to figure out a decent carbon clincher that will work for my bike. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

The Reynolds Assault are 25mm wide and I run them with 23mm tyres.
Haven't tried anything wider so can't help you there.

The Canon EF 135mm f/2L is the best lens ever made too.

I'm partial to the 24-70 f/2.8 ;)

Beautiful build on both bikes.
