Except the colour (and the associated weight penalty for white) - none.
Get a bicycle. You will certainly not regret it, if you live.

Could You please post a link of search result? I tried several times and have not found any topic regarding this issue. Thanx.
Fork uncut 315g, frame without headset but with hanger, cages bolts and seatpost collar 996g. 2012 R3 team 56 size. Weighted with 2 different scales, the difference was +- 5g (one was kitchen scale and one "fish" scale). I thought it'll be much lighter honestly.
18' R5 coming soon...
No, it's a weight of bare fork because I don't use Cervelo's insert. Of course fork is SL version. I'll weight cut fork when I visit my LBS again as I'm waiting for the proper bottom bracket (guys from Cervelo had sent me wrong one:/).
18' R5 coming soon...

I would say the taller headtube and asymmetric beefed up BBright area is why the weight has gone up vs the pre 2011 models. Also the newer models don't seem crack around the BB area any more.

you want the new model and a weight loss, then you need to get the r5vwd.

Imho, the 2006-2007 models were awesome. The 2008 models gained weight (white paint) and apparently had some cracking issues. Haven't ridden the new generation of R3s, but I'm perfectly happy with my 2007 R3 (870g). Rides awesome and is more than enough bike for me.

yeh i love my 06r3 very much also im replacing my trek 6.9ssl with a r3 i was going to use the team frame as a project light bike and my old r3 frame as my main ride.now im thinking of leaving my r3 as is and picking a earlier model r3 frame to put my trek components on seen some good deals on 09 and 2010 frames.
