The Di2 battery is there only temporary - still waiting for few spares - ultimately it will end up in the seatpost :)

other than the weird aero bar angle that is one great looking cervelo. I too would like to hear about that paint, it makes that bike look much better.

If you are interested in a Weight Weenies kit I no longer know what you should do.

Nice bikes! :thumbup:

How do you find the Stronglight TT chainring? I've just fitted the same and am interested to hear how they perform.

Wow. The paint might not be my cup of espresso but those are very impressive rides.

So far no complaints - shifting to the big ring is noisy - but precise and quick. Stiffness overall is OK, but I would not use it on a track ;)

Re paint: it was stripped (sanded) down, one protection layer, few layers of paint - all done with an airgun (in the body shop) and a clear coat on top - not very WW, bur with this set-up as pictured bike hits 7,5 kg - not bad for a TT rig :)
Still - I could cut some serious grams with the saddle, modifying the seatpost and fine tuning the Di2 setup; latter will certainly be done soon.

Amazing bikes. The paint scheme is great...

PS: The pig above the front wheel on the Dolan, is a good touch as well. ;)

Nice DF3. What is it like to ride, do you endurance events on it or just IP? I'm looking to upgrade to a high end track bike and I'm tossing up between a DF3 and a BT Cyclone.

Well - it is an all-rounder for me - kilo, IP and endurance - although I do not race endurance at this moment - I focused on IP this winter. I simply swap bars and that is it.
However - I don't "race" on track - not yet anyways - so all I did was training and testing. This is a 55 frame, and it is a shame that I didn't go for 57 - but still it is a hell of a stiff bike - but at the same time - it feels just right; you can really feel all your power being transferred onto the track - no flex and all. For once I could feel the difference as I tried a Planet X carbon track bike, an alu Trek bike and DF3. Easy to pick the best one ;)

Well - is is a WW forum, and the bike's stiffness comes for a price...
You can safely say it is a pig of a track bike ;)
