I was thinking of doing another Aero build, I had sold off my BMC TMR01 as it was to harsh a ride for me on the crap roads we have.

Then this Cervélo R5 fell in my lap, so now maybe a Cervélo R5 Aero Weight Weenie Build ?

I have some parts and the frame is on the Aero side, but Im still not sure, yet I keep buying stuff for it LOL. Now I have Record EPS V3 to put on something :noidea:

Looks like a cool build. I had that same frame up until very recently. It rides wonderfully.

Lol how did the R5 fall in your lap? You get hooked up or what?

As I age my TMR02 is getting harder to ride and my body feels beaten up afterwards... but she’s so pretty to let go though

My buddy owns a shop and Cervelo is one of the brands he has. This was left behind by one of his customers that bought a new $10K bike, so I ended up with it as I dont mind leftovers.

Yea my BMC TMR01 was one of my favorite bikes to look at, it always made me want to ride it, but it was to harsh for me. I dont feel much looking at this R5, but Im told I will feel / love it when I ride it, we will see.

Subbed. As a TCR owner I'm happy to see there is only a 47 second difference between it and the Propel. Very interested to see how a "regular" road bike comes together with aero components.
