Nice close up shots and weights here. For a tri bike, I dig it, except for those BOGUS trp brakes. Seriously Cervelo, cable pull hydro?!?

At 21 lbs (9.5 KG) for a base weight, you have to imagine that triathletes will be setting off for their bike leg at close to 35 lbs by the time you add, spare tubes, 3 C02 cartridges, 200 Gu packs with attaching electrical tape, 12 water bottles, 100 "motivational" stickers about being a "winner", three years worth of old bike check-in stickers, and nine pounds of dried energy drink and piss.

I saw a Cervelo S5 with disc at the LBS today.


Was probably an S3 disc, not S5. There is no S5 disc yet .... https://www.cervelo.com/en/road/s-series/s3-disc


I've seen an S5 disc prototype being ridden on a group ride here for over a year
