Hi pcad,
I took my R3 on a 100 Km ride with 6,000 ft of climbing. With clinchers the bike weighed < 16 lbs. You know what? I was still slow.
On a more serious note, I like the handling of my Serotta much better than my Cervélo. Since I did 6 K ft of climbing on a roundtrip route I had 6 K ft of descending. Not that R3 is bad, but my Attack is great.
