Obviously some of the comments, for instance the harshness on some road surfaces, might be due to the wheelset/tires as well - bit hard to account it to the frame 100% or did you have the same with the original wheels? Paint was an interesting point, if sitting on you toptube actually caused the damage I'd never consider buying a Cervelo as that is just insane imo.
Keep up the video's though, liked your video on the trip to Austin as well! For future videos I agree with zappafile123 as well, try to stay away from the 'light, stiff' comments or any other comment that can be applied to any proper modern bike. I value the real life stories a lot more as well.
You're right, every component change can make the ride quality of the bike a bit different. In the end, I suppose it's all down to the road surface, as nothing can truly mitigate a terrible road (of which we have plenty in Houston).
However, to your question, the bike felt fairly similar with the original wheels. The Enve are stiff as hell, but the only noticeable quality I felt change is that they are much snappier and just want to keep rolling. Admittedly, I'm not an expert on the subject, and am for sure not a writer, so I probably have trouble putting to video what's in my head.
But, I do have the energy to keep making videos to do my best to help people understand what it's like to buy this stuff. It's all so expensive and honestly everything I've dropped $$'s on I really went into it fairly blind (my wife loves that)! This is my first crack at a review video, and the comments and criticism from you guys is helping a ton. Thanks for taking the time, and I'll for sure post the next review video here and try to make it a bit more thorough.
Cheers!
