Moderator: robbosmans
Hi guys,
I am riding my cervelo r3-sl 6870.
I wanna upgrage my bike but............. I can't make a desicion....
I tried the S-works tarmac, supersix evo hi-mod 2016 and Cervelo S5.
For s-works tarmac, It is a great bike.
um... its really stable and stiff.
I read a lot of reviews of s-works tarma.
I thought its an amazing bike...
However, I couldnt feel any special of this bike
I like the matt black one.
I prefer ss hm because its very smooth and light. I like the feeling of sshm.
I love it so much!
However, I dont like the paint job....
Cervelo S5 is a gorgeous bike! The Paint job is awesome.
Its really aero when I was going down, Its super smooth, stable and fast.
Also, the price of S5 ultegra is the same price as s-works tarmac....
For canyon, I only did the research from roadbike.de
http://www.roadbike.de/rennraeder/test-canyon-ultimate-cf-slx-9-0-ltd.1503348.9.htm The data and review of Canyon Ultimate.
http://www.roadbike.de/best-of-test-ksg-bestenliste.695642.9.htm Thats the rank of KSG from roadbike.de
When David millar rode it.... It looks awesome~~~~~

However, the photo of ultimate's fork is quite ...weird...
The review of KSG (roadbike.de) is quite high which is similar as the Cervelo Rca 2015.
I didnt have a test ride for Canyon ultimate but I like the look of it.
The last choice.... get a bora ultra 50 tubular?... (mine is racing zero nite)
However, its on sale now. If campy will have a new bora after few months................
I am a big fan of cannondale.
The paint job of sshm 2013-15 were awesome.
For the ss hm, I dont like the paintjob.... (2016) I am very disappointed...
I am still struggling with the ss hm...
Its the best frameset which I have tried
Its light, stiff and smooth. (I am 62kg only, 177cm so the stiffness is good enough for me)
2017 is on usa cannondale now.
S-works is fine but the price of tarmac can get the whole bike of Cervelo S5 ultegra.
After testing those bikes, I think I prefer the bike which is similar to r3...
S5 is quite good as flat and descending
climbing and paint job are good as well but the weight is a bit heavy (s-works tarmac has similar weight as Cervelo S5)
Also, the bottom part is so fat... lol
I am bit confused....at this moment
Should I go get a S-works,ss hm, Cervelo s5,Canyon ultimate or Bora ultra?
I love the colour of 2017 cannondale frameset.
Now, I am struggling of tarmac, sshm or cervelo s5. Also, does bb(pf30) need to always maintance for the creaking noise?
Can anyone give suggestion please?

Either of those would be great bikes. If not the Tarmac, have you looked at the Giant TCR? If not the S5 (awesome bike!) what about a Propel? So much choice. Choose one and just be done with it depending on where you ride etc.

what't the reason for the upgrade? r3sl w/ di2 is pretty good already, unless its a sizing issue. You are not going to find any difference in performance in all of the choice above except maybe the new wheelset. If I were you, I would ride the R3 until it breaks, by then there will be better choices out there.
