Ha ha!
all bikes on this page r pretty fruity if you ask me, mine maybe the worst.
Except for my chainkeeper, it's a work of art, and totally hot.

A very ungenerous, unkind, mean and bad bicycle.

I'm trying to imagine a person actually riding the thing... and I'm coming up short.

Why yes you are.

ha ha lol etc.

Actually you would be too far behind it for 1st hand observation.
Until we hit a ten percent grade, at least.
Then you would find me walking at roadside and begging you for ibuprofen.

Throw out all of your road bike rules, this thing makes its own rules. Totally hot in my book

Thoughts on the new stem? Got the glossy black/red lettering to match the front end of the frame. It also fits so much better than the ritchey!

You are a crankset away in my book. The stem looks great.

The stem looks perfect. Also is that the P6 HiFlex? If my frame didn't have an aero seatpost then I would be running that.

I agree, although I'd never have thought the words "red stem looks good" would come from my mouth. Maybe you should pose the wheels so the two red spokes align with the fork. I also agree about the crank, or maybe I've just been seeing too many hollowgrams lately....

bianchi10 03-23-13 11:35 AM

I like the cervelo but I find the white pedals distracting. Obviously, you don't see them much or at all while riding though. I think your wheels and overall look would be better if you swapped the red spokes for black and debadged the logo's. Also not a fan of the crankset. Doesn't mean its not an excellent crank, but aesthetically I'd rather see rotor or SRAM with a black chainring like praxis or something alike.

New stem looks great. Just the right amount to compliment and not be an eye sore.

WhyFi 03-23-13 12:12 PM

I wouldn't feel the need to change anything about the Cervelo - it's not overly busy, so the wheel logos don't bother me. The red spokes serve a purpose and I find them complementary. Hot.

Caad 10. Hot.

It's actually the plain carbon one. I went through more than a handful of seat posts and this is by far my favorite. Setup/adjustment is easy and it dampens the road incredibly well.

SteveFromNY 03-23-13 12:53 PM

damn that is hot. always loved the green colorway of that frame. wheels are hot too- just enough flash, but still understated.

I'm asking because I dont know. what is the purpose fo the red spokes?

SteveFromNY 03-23-13 01:18 PM

Thanks for the suggestions- the wheel logos unfortunately are clearcoated so they can't be removed, but I can just cover them with a thin layer of vinyl like I did the rest of the wheel. They were busy before.

It's literally mere grams so it's not too bad. And as much as I like the crank, I know the color clashes with the bike.

For the pedals, I keep going back to SPDs (blasphemy!), but I just plain love walking around every time I bike, so I'm on the look out for a super light set of SPDs now. My M520s are awesome, but 380grams!

bianchi10 03-23-13 01:49 PM

easy answer broski....exustar r200 titanium pedals. 88g each. I got mine for $170. They are compatible with the look cleats also. I LOVE mine
