I seem to recall you chose the S2 because you thought the S3 would be mushy. It would think the S2 was plenty stiff.
Yeah the S2 is really a better balanced bike. Stiff, very comfy ride, aero, reasonably light. But the Addict is stiffer, a bit lighter, and I just love the way the bike feels and particularly how it climbs. Amazing climber. Beats me up a bit after 4-5 hours on a rough road, but I don't do too many rides like that. Hell, rode it 5+ hours last Saturday and it was fine. And even though it beat me up a bit on a rough stretch of road in hour 5, it was great having it for that last nasty two mile climb @ mile 70.
Love both bikes, very happy with the Cervelo and the Scott. They both work fine for me. I'll be riding the Cervelo more soon.
