Not another Cervelo R3 build! sheesh...
So for varying reasons I decided to get an R3. That's all the explanation you're getting out of me 
..
Build is finished!
Build List:
'07 Cervelo R3 (56)
Cervelo Wolf SL Carbon fork
FSA SLK carbon seatpost
Dura-Ace 7800 group (11-23 cassette)
Shimano R700 Compact crank (50/34)
Oval Concepts R700 stem (110) & handlebars (42)
'06 Rolf Vigor RS wheelset (Vittoria Corsa EVO CX tires)
Look Keo Carbon pedals
Fizik Arione saddle
Flightdeck
original pic... sans group: (fixed? hmmmm...)

She's gonna be a looker. I like the handlebars. Why did you go with the RS wheels? Nice wall too. What is that?

I've been riding the RS's for the past 8 months or so on my soloist and just moved them over. They've been awesome. They're light(ish) at 1500g and seem to hold speed well, climb well, very stiff, and hold up to philly streets nicely... quite bomb proof. They've been perfectly true since I pulled them out of the box and I've done anything but pamper them (I regularly jump curbs and run over pot holes and the like).
The wall is a 100yr old stone foundation basement wall, covered in some sort of concrete/water proofing mix the previous owners put over it. It does look pretty cool when you get the light right

It looks like an outdoor pic in Arizona. Every time I start leaning toward getting Zipps I restart the debate whether I want to spend that much on clinchers all over again. Once I get to 225 lbs I will reward myself with something nice.
Those wheels are rated to 230 lbs.

That would make nice wallpaper if it were....ohh I dunno....maybe 1400x1050 with more blank wall on the left side so the bike isn't hidden by desktop icons. I'm just sayin.

You have all the equipment for a race bike (even Vittoria Corsa's which most people don't even have the luxury to race on, let alone train) so why not race?

The tires can be found at PBK (when they have them)... like $35 a piece. Not much of a price difference than most tires. I just got them for the initial build of this bike, but usually ride vittoria diamonte's or michelin pro2races ($27 at PBK).

You should turn it into a fixie build. That way you can piss off the roadies on this board who lust after the R3, while simultaneously agitating the SS & fixie crowd for using a frame that didn't come out of a dumpster.
