Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Italian Cervelo on Craigslist

I was looking at Craigslist this morning and discovered a rare Italin built Cervelo.



2006 Cervelo R3 Team 56cm - $2800 (Houston Mem Park)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is an absolutely top-shelf, pro-level racing bike. Hand-made Italian carbon Fiber. Literally, one of the lightest and strongest bikes available. An marvel of design; rediculously stiff, but still very comfortable, this bike is a rocket!

Nearly $10k new. All Dura Ace, with the exception of the FSA slK Cranks (carbon fiber) and Campagnolo Record chain. Easton EC90 Fork (all carbon) on a Campagnolo headset. Suprisingly light and bulletproof, hand laced wheels: Chris King hubs, Mavic CXP33 rims, laced with DT Swiss spokes in a traditional (and super strong) triple cross. Deda stem, Ritchey WCS bars. Thompson Elite seatpost with a Fizik Aerone Saddle.

There is a 5k $ one for sale in the Lehigh Valley CL.
Seems to be a Time Trial bike with a BUNCH of addons.
The link is here.
https://allentown.craigslist.org/bik/1039759918.html
I don't know the seller who even the anything about the sale. I just thought I should share it here since the thread seemed to be leaning this direction.

There is nothing like that hand-made Italian Cevelo CF. Nothing I say.

A little known point of interest is that Cervelo only uses the finest Italian CF grown in the CF Orchards of Olde Tuscany.

don't worry, Italy has already been invaded by a large mass of Chinese people. Anything truly made in Italy is likely to be made by a Chinese immigrant.

The Italian model cost a couple thousand more too I guess.

Too much crap on that cervelo I provided a link too.

And I am pretty sure maiden means, unmarried, not virgin. Though during the times this word was used they were either virgins or slaves anyways.
