Buddy just picked up a new R3 in white. It is very sweet and he says extremely comfortable and very responsive. What else do you need? 15.8 lbs with a mix of older Dura-ace, Sram red crank, and a custom set of wheels that weigh around 1550grams. As for personal experience my soloist team with campy record was a great bike. Excellent for road races, crits and TT's. I'd say a very good value for 1200 bucks.
