Cervelo S5 and me
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
I have as so many others been around for a while lurking however now it is time to post my ride. A month ago i bought a S5 rival and converted it to something a little more lightweight.
The bike was original +8 kg
I have changed the following parts:
1) Wheels from fulcrum 7(?) to Zipp 404 firecrest tubular
2) Pedals to Exustar titan
3) Rival parts changed to Red parts (except FD)
4) Brakes from rival to Planet x lightweight cnc
5) Saddle changed to SLR without padding
Bike was at this point 6900 grams with 404s. Was 6850 grams with 202 tubulars.
Last modification was done yesterday where i fitted my new B.O.R. Power2max and the bike is now at 6970 without the garmin mount. I need to cut the fork a little more to get rid of the spacers.
The fit is much more suitable than on my previous ride (Canyon CF) and i feel really good on the bike.
Let me know your comments folks.

Fantastic! Love the component selection. Only thing that could sweeten this is a video of you killing it on the flats.
Thanks!
Currently i have a hip injury so i am not really killing it - hoping to do some races in late summer and i will then (hopefully) kill everybody on the flats - but it is a great bike.
If you have suggestions to go to around 6800 g without being ripped off i would be very interested. My own thoughts on this is to change the following parts:
Stem 3T ARX pro
Handlebar 3T ergonova pro
and maybe:
Bottlecages which are profile design carbon lite
Quick releases (think they are called ATIK)
But suggestions are more than welcome

Did you weight the P2M/Bor before fitting it? (w/o rings)
Unfortunately not - so i only have the weights from the P2M website. However i did a calculation on estimated weights before i got the power meter.
There was a gossamer crankset on the bike when i got it so i took the gossamer weight without power meter from the P2M website and substracted from the BOR P2M crankset and added this as weight gain in my calculation. I ended up being within 15 grams of estimated weight so i think the weights on the P2M website seems accurate. Hope you can use this info

Any chance of those more detailed pictures of the crank area?

What size frame is this?
It looks better than the larger versions, I think.

Yeah, I think the shorter headtube looks a lot better. Wish the top tube didn't slope so much though. What's the BB-top of the saddle and the drop?
