This is interesting... Cervélo coming out with custom paint jobs for the team!

Curious to see what kind of paint schemes they roll out for 2016 - especially for the S3 and the R5. A bold step from the careful designs up until now?

As a Cervelo owner, have to say that Cervelo continues to underwhelm with the paint jobs... this one does absolutely nothing for me. De gustibus, of course, but this is a special edition paint job?
Road bike: Cervelo R3, Campagnolo Chorus/Record mix...
Supercommuter: Jamis Renegade...
Oldie but goodie: De Rosa Professional Slx, Campagnolo C-Record...
And you can call me Macktastik Honey Pete Kicks, thank you.

Not crazy about the yellow seat post on the P5, but then again I've never been a huge fan of that bike. The R5 looks good and I really like the S5. LOVE the colours on the underside of the downtube. Maybe it's just because it's been a while since I've really liked a Cervelo paint job, but I am impressed. Too bad it looks like the S5 is only available as a complete bike and its $14,500. Yikes.

A new kind of awful! :?

Speaking as a WW all that silver paint means one thing, extra weight. Cervélo please go back to nude carbon like was the case with the R3 SL and R5 VWD.

In my opinion the saddle and seatpost clamp on the P5 look like they belong on a hybrid.
I kind of like the paint though, particularly the "S"
