yeah i still have the stock black hoods. when it's time to re-tape, i may throw em back on there. although, i do love the feel of the soft grippy hudz.

I like the red hoods. It works with the accents on the rest of the bike plus its easier to clean than red bar tape.

That right there is a stiff ass bike.

I'm 23 so I guess my youthful bones can take it. Did a 60 mile ride yesterday, lower back feels a bit off. I bought it used wwith no knowledge of road bikes/tt bikes but I'm really happy with it.

idk, felt like it needed some red. let's just call them my version of blue anodization. ;)

Hey at least I had several parts with the blue anodization - cable housing, quick releases, seat post (shouldn't have done that one), and chain ring bolts. :D

I find the red hood steal away the focus from the rest of the bike.
Maybe add a red saddle, red cages, &/or tires to make seeing the whole bike easier. The 1st thing I noticed was the red hoods not the bike.

I think Im finished with all the upgrades. Most recently added the Dura Ace C24 wheels and a 12-28t cassette for the steep stuff.

This, along with the Norwegian Red S3 are my favorite Cervelo framesets. Great build. HOT.

Shouldn't your front quick-release handle-thing be on the other side?

If it's not carbon it's not the pro it's the Romin Evo Expert :P

Thanks! I actually had the gel version of the saddle with white color underneath which looked great but I didn't like the gel feeling. This one feels great. You can't quite see it in the photos but the stem has a red and black pinstripe on the white section on the stem that was custom made so it kind of matches along with the red "C" on the wheels. A carbon version of the saddle would be sweet indeed :thumb:

Good eye! I was giving the bike a wipe down and noticed after i took the photos. Its been changed :)

NWS Alpine - you're right, its an expert Romin Evo

it can also be symbolic... since the bike has a feminine color scheme... the pink fork represents solidarity with female causes like breast cancer, the white frame represents virginal purity, and the red under the front of the saddle represents ;) .

Pipete thats a hot frame and build! It looks like you have everything dialed in with in now huh?

haha that's an interesting look at it! Yes, everything is pretty much how I wanted it to be. As I become more flexible I might opt for a 120mm -17 degree stem.
