How does it ride?
used it yesterday for the first time and I'm impressed, always ride on an S3 bike, but the R5 really is a lot stiffer on the front so when you accelerate standing on the pedals it's like an arrow ...
It's not what you ride, it's how you ride it !
some weights :
Cervélo R5ca frame size 58 including bearings, seatpostclamp and derailleurhanger
bike weight complete
Rotor 3D+ with aero chainrings and Power²Max powermeter, 175mm 110BCD
Token brakes, good weight and braking quality is excellent !
3T ergosum LTD 44c/c, cutted of 2cm at the ends
Arundel Mandible, rock solid bottlecageholders
Rotor chaincatcher (you never know)
Lightweight Obermayer GEN II SP wheelset including Sram 11-23 cassette and veloflex carbon tubulars, complete 1718 grams
Tune AC 16+17 Ti skewers

will take a picture with my black GEN III LW's one of these days (it's raining here right now)
I think the white LW's are fine in this bike, otherwise it will be too black, we'll see, the pictures and reactions will tell !

I think the white LWs look great on this bike, I have no idea why people dont like them. It breaks up all the black, only thing I can say bad about them is I dont have a set for my bike.
This is my no name bike

Now that looks proper!
Looks much better.
So you've raised the front end quite a bit? (added spacers and switched from a -17deg stem)

This bike = the only cervelo I would ride. Very very nice.

bought a 56 instead of the 58 I had before
A 130mm stem and "no" spacers, just a high cap.
