I like the green. The only thing I'd change is the Corsa tyres...., they aren't reliable enough for my liking. I guess each to their own.
Jroe how much does it weigh?

I think its right around 16.5lb....7.4kg.. there's no real light weight parts on it really... 28's on 4.5ARs weigh a bit.. bar, stem and saddle are pretty heavy too..
After owning a Cervelo S5 and having tested a Cervelo R3 is moved to a Cervelo C5. Thanks to my bud Frankie-B who spotted this jewel of a C5
First my ' old ' Cervelo S5
Cervelo S5, Dura Ace, Rotor Powermeter, 3T, Speedplay
My New Cervelo C5
Cervelo C5 size 56 (850gr)
Fork Project California carbon
Shimano Dura Ace Di2
Cranks Rotor 3D+ BBright - 50/34
Tyres Continental Grand Prix 28c
FSA seat/stem/handlebar
Look Carbon
HED Ardennes Plus LT disc
total weight... ±7.2 kg..
According to Bikeradar:
"In all, the C5 (and its cheaper sibling, the C3) won’t necessarily appeal to existing Cervélo fans. With the C5 prioritising comfort and stability over agility and ultra-light weight, the pseudo-racing brigade may well feel shortchanged. However, by maximising comfort, compliance and handling, Cervélo created a bike that deserves a much wider audience. This is the all the bike that most people need; it remains to be seen if it’s the bike that most people want."
Coulnd't agree more..

irl it look a lot smaller.. however its wheelbase is a bit longer.. as the c-series is more the comfort bike.. spend over 35 years riding smaller, stiffer more compact bikes but now i've reached a certain point in life where comfort is key..
