Remember that 667 is with hardware. Without it, the frame is 630 in a 54.


Also, the Cervelo will be much stiffer and likely more aero as Cervelo actually spends time in the tunnel, they spend a good amount of their R&D on it.

The fork is interesting. The Nanovate coating is very durable, it was tough to score it and mark the place where I wanted to cut. It is tough to cut through but very thin.

The problem is that it looks like the stear tube is the same size as normal. They coat the stear tube with a coat of Nanovate. But now it is a little thicker than it should be. It is not a big problem, I just sanded the inside of my spacers to get them on the stear tube.

My cut fork is 267 grams.

Nice. This bike needs a build thread all its own.

The Cervelo logos that look like they might be white in the photo are a matte silver.

I have got not many opinions when I covered Nanovate coating :
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=107574
Stephen from fibre-lyte seemed not being interested in the Nanovate coating,too.Not sure.
It is good to see that Cervelo went for it at least at one part of their Rca fork.
BTW. sedluk good luck with your built .
