In my case I bought the frameset alone since I already had a Record EPS group, wheels and everything else so I saved a big chunk of money. You need to decide what's more important: having that aero dedicated frame for tt'ing knowing that it's a harsher ride, or having a frame that's maybe not so aero but arguably has better build quality along with a nicer ride.
Thanks for all the replies, especially the above! I'd be curious to know, when you say "night and day" in reference of comfort - how significant is the difference? Or at least, how noticeable? Assuming I avoid Roubaix-racing with it, will it be ok? I'll be doing the occasional century, but mostly will be focusing on the time trialling / short sportives and using it as my summer bike (for racing and training purposes).
Essentially will the Cervelo kill me over 60-70 miles?
Saw a comment about "build quality" in the cervelo vs. look discussion - are there general poor reports on cervelo build quality?
Thanks again!
