Really?
A $3,000.+ carbon bike is better than an entry-level $700. aluminum bike?
Did your CAAD9 break too? Or was it in good condition when you unloaded it to go plastic?

It's amazing how over some peoples' heads this goes.
It's not the Cervelos that I don't like...it's their owners refusal to believe that their bikes can fail,
or that if this is pointed out, that there must be some sort of hatred for an inanimate object.
I noticed that the cycling mature here didn't get their panties in a bunch.
And then begins the attempted diversion from the Cervelos to the particular bike of the person who points out it's faults?
Would there be Specialized Haterade being passed around if I rode a Specialized bike? (Which goes to prove my point that
it's not the brand that is hated [though some use a persons bike as a manner to attack them], but the person's opinion.)
Lighten up! There is no conspiracy by a bike manufacturer to degrade another with cyber pawns! If a bike sucks, it sucks!
How many of you actually posted something to help the OP (like I did)?
