Agreed, but I got sick of flatting out so much. I actually lighten my bike just so I can throw on gator skins. Haven't had a flat since (fingers crossed).

The S5 is clearly more aero than most any other bike. The look is different but I like it when everyone gets a view of my back wheel.

I'm pretty sure that this I caused because the carbon post is a little too small to begin with, then gets crimped over time at the back, which obviously makes it smaller. This means that the frame keeps getting bent in too far with the clamp.
This happened to mine, and the best thing I did was get an alu post

Cervelo makes bikes that ride beautifully. But they sure know how to make an ugly frame. I don't know why they usually go with the most garish paint they can find.

The plural of Cervelo isn't "Cervelo's", it's Cerveleaux. Sheesh.

Wasn't there another very long Cervelo thread a few years ago? 
I "accidentally" have ended up with 3 Cervelos. The only one I set out to buy from the beginning was the steel one (Superprodigy). The grey alu Soloist frame popped up on one of the local club's classifieds site, so I nabbed it.
I scored the old Carbon Soloist frame recently, without a fork, for a hundred bucks! I know the seller from the local group smash-fests, and he just wanted to get rid of it, since he just bought a new S2. He got the Soloist used as a complete bike for $1500 a few years ago, and it's pretty beat up, so he wasn't too fussed about getting much for it. I think he felt sorry for me
I've posted a pic of my Superprodigy about 200 times on here.
I sold the Flashpoints ages ago
I snapped a quick photo before it was finished

I must have short legs haha. how are you liking that syntace p6? Is that the hi-flex? I actually have a non hi-flex carbon one coming in soon to replace the POS 3t Dorico that came stock.
