I have a 10 year old Lemonds Steel and a Cervelo 3R SL which I purchased a year ago.
The Cervelo rides much smother and is more fun to ride. I have a vacation house and the original concept was a bike in each location however I like the Cervelo so much I bring it with me and ride it exclusively. The Lemonds is permanently mounted to the indoor trainer.
I would say the the RS is a nice bike and worth consideration though a 2011 R3 might be better. You should know that the 2011 Cervelo R3 has meaningful upgrades.
This looks like a deal, it is a 2010 so it does not have the upgrades but is full Ultegra and at $3,200 is a lot of bike for the money.

Here is a 2011, I never heard of this place. It is my understanding that the current year Cervelo is price fixed so it might be a standard price?
