Most people that walk through our doors are looking for comfort, endurance and "having some fun" on the bike. The majority of those people aren't looking for an aero bike.
Although, ironically, we sell far more S-series Cervelos to R-series.
Most of the customers that come in and want an aero bike will know exactly what they want and we special order it in. We use to stock the Propel and the two we had on the floor were about to be charged for rent. We pull the bike off the floor... we've special ordered in a dozen in the last 6-months.
It's a testament to how good the new S2/3 are... they are as comfortable as the R, but with aero benefit. The weight increase from S to R is also negligible.
