Cervelo S5 build

Love this bike, kudos on the build. Looks really great.

Wondering what your saddle height is as pictured? Have a mate looking for a new frame who rides a 58 and trying to get an idea of what it will look like with his measurements

Aggressive and mean looking - nice!

great looking s5. really nice build. pc8 is awesome (screen and what it will display, sheer versatility) but i did have some issues with it in wet so take some care when it is raining.

Cheers mate. Seat height is at 81cm.

Found this out first hand. Sent it back and had the new unit 2 days later (thanks to SRM Oceania, they're legends down there). Been out for several really wet rides, including 3 hours last night at 4 today with the new one and it hasn't missed a beat.

Love the tan sidewalls. Classy build.

New saddle time:



158 grams for the SWorks Power in 143



79 grams saving, and now I have a spare power for the track bike.

ee brakes are on order.

Looks like you could save a few more grams by trimming the rear brake housing

Great looking bike!

Switched cables to Jagwire Elite Link, running a conservative length until the new brakes show up. Expecting November at this point. Isn't the end of the world as I'm pretty much racing non stop until then.

What is it about pictures of bike parts on scales?!?!

I love these threads

BTW - I rarely ever like gum wall tires - but they actually look really nice on your bike...

New brakes finally arrived. Only issue was the rear barrel adjustor was missing. Have a replacement on it's way, hoping for a Saturday delivery, but may not be till Monday.

Brake time!

Front Sram red 120 grams:

Front EE 89 grams:


31 grams saved.

Rear Sram Red 118 grams:

Rear EE 85 grams:


33 grams saved.

64 grams total.

Also have a new wheel set on the bike. VIttoria Ellusion Nero wheels with Hutchinson Sector 28 tyres. Set up tubeless and an Ultegra 11-28 cassette. Not a light weight set up by any stretch, but looks great and has proved pretty reliable and comfortable.

Front 1120 grams:

Rear 1650 grams:


2770 grams.

Vittorie Ellusion Nero + Hutchinson Sector 28 (no clearance issues on the S5 frame w/ ee brakes. Slight rubbing at the front on the Red caliber.

And the complete bike. 7.8kg as is.

That geometry looks aggressive, especially with the -17 stem!
It could do with some higher rims, no?

ps: what's that thing on your valve? I hardly see anyone using those, some brands of inner tubes don't even have threads on the valves anymore. No need to use them so shed some weight

[Nefarious86]

They are the lock nuts for the tubeless valves..

You could always relay on tyre pressure to hold it in place
What happened to seatpost, sticker/damage?
Now with black tape looks better, imo.
