hehe I was wondering if anyone would notice.
I'm waiting on my record braze on so I threw it on. It's a 9 speed triple, and it works flawlessly oddly enough.

That's a very nice looking Cervelo...
I've been saving photos of particularly well built Cervelos (Canadian pride!) for the past year, here's some other nice Cervelos:

Here's a comparison shot.
Rare to see Mavic brakes these days (I think this bike is in Europe).

Man i love those P3C's. I wish I was thin enough to justify a TT bike. (or slick enough with the wife to justify it to her if I WAS thin enough...)
If you want a pic of a really well built Cervelo, wait til I get the carbon crank and some right proper tires on her...

couldn't you get that stem a little lower on the steerer? Just kidding. Looks like it is ready for public consumption right now. Excellent bike.

I assumed I would just buy another one this year when i decided to get a new bike, I was planning to get a Dogma, or Prince SL, but a guy convinced me to try the R2.5 and I was hooked.

Just kidding. Looks like it is ready for public consumption right now. Excellent bike.Yeah thats no joke, when I first rode it that afternoon I was pantamiming to my riding buddies that I was riding a chopper with ape-hangers. I have since dropped them 1.5 cm, and I'll prolly go another 1.5 before I'm done. I didnt cut the steerer, I've just been playing with spacers to make SURE it was where I wanted it before I commit. One more good reason to build your own bike.

(The other frontrunner is a Colnago President, but that'll take some more scratch, and so is less likely.) I'm waiting for better weather to test ride, but wondered what differences you saw. You ended up buying the Cervelo this time -- do you like it better than the Pinarellos, or did you choose it for some variety? Curious to know your thoughts (as well as those of others who may have ridden both)...
