Excuse the door, it was a hasty photo op. Unfortunately the frame is an '08 which uses a crazy 32.4mm seatpost diameter. I am going to get a 27.2 shim for it, and replace the post. 3T was the obvious first choice, but I'm thinking my long term plan might involve an ENVE seatpost and fork.
Don't mind me trying to spend your money, however I think SA set the precedence for Cervelo's and seating setups.

Thanks for the tip. Can you provide some info on SA? Google gets me a million links to South African businesses.

Soloist Assassin or something along the lines of that. Thats his username on this forum. He posts a lot in the bike on a diet thread. He had like a custom seatpost and saddle thing that weighed like next to nothing custom made, and it looks sexy

This is too funny, the whole South African thing, and all. Yep, I had Jure Berk of Berk Composites build me a custom combo. He could make you a round combo for that R3 that would be silly light. Mine was 181g for the aero post using a original Cervelo post that was modified, but he has made 120g round combos. I noticed you are using an SLR variant as well. His combo is just as comfy as my SLR Kit Carbonio Flow, believe it or not. BTW your R3 is hot, and I don't say that often about white bikes. Speaking of which LC's TT bike is looking pretty good too with those new Hed hoops on there. Back to the R3, I don't usually like gum walls either, but they look classy on the white with those black labeled Enves.

I know right. Gonna be cool seeing Wiggins riding Jure's work later this year. It's funny Pinarellos are such pigs, they needed to contract Jure, just to get them down to the UCI limit.
