Interesting features,

- Fully internal routing, no mechanical shifting routing
- "asymmetric cups of BBRight, we've threaded them into a T47-sized hole. While a unique-to-us implementation, it uses standard inboard and outboard T47 cups."
- D shaped seat-post, double non-integrated clamps

Looks very sleek, but I wonder how many they will sell of these with mounts for only one bottle cage (or am I blind?)

Un sure, it would seem a strange decision not to include them.

The bike in the photo is just in configuration to be raised onto the shoulder for CX.

The production version will have two bottle mounts, this is the pro only prototype version with only one. There's a 40min interview with two people from Cervelo on cyclingtips (I think) where they talk all about the bike which is a fairly interesting listen

Well this bike had an outstanding debut. Nothing like an opening win to make the engineers and marketing guys happy.

it is nice to have a bike with horizontal top tube and no dropped seat stays!

I've taken a bit of a thing for this bike, but I'm thinking more of a wet weather x1 build.

Guessing this will be properly expensive though, like pro-level frame expensive ala R5?
