2011 De Rosa Merak - opinions v Cervelo S3

[mattharrop]

Hi,

I'm after some advice about a new frame. There is a special on the 2011 De Rosa Merak frame for NZ$1999 which is a pretty good deal. http://www.torpedo7.co.nz/products/D0FP ... meset-2011" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'm tempted to move my 2009 Cervelo S3 on.

Does anyone have any comments on the frame? How is it likely to compare to my S3? I'd be moving all the parts across from the S3. My S3 is a 56, so I'd be looking at the 57 Merak to be closest in geometry (56.5cm top tube, same as the size 56 S3).

Any advice appreciated.
