After much hard saving and work in the corn fields, I am in a position to buy a Cervelo Soloist 105.
I have test rode the bike and it is FAST! I have not tested any other bike, yet I am not wanting to test any others. When I rode the cervelo, it was a 61cm when i should be riding a 58/56cm. It was instantly comfortable, just a bit much reach and h/bar width. I could put the juice on and I could feel no movement or flex at all, just gutsy acceleration. The gear shifts and everything were just B E A UTIFUL along with everything else.
The bike has what I want - Aerodynamics for competitive Time Trialling, its comfortable and no flex in the frame. When I rode the bike I didn't have to concentrate on handling at all, it just seemed to flow naturally and go where I wanted it to.
Should I test any other bikes? That is the question. I have heard from people that have ridden Cervelo bikes that the thing climbs and descends like a demon, as though on rails.
Thoughts anyone? http://www.cervelo.com/bikes/SL105.html
