Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hot from me also, love the black quill stem. Though I'm personally not big on downtube shifters, or bar ends. I like modern brifters where everything is close at hand.

^^^ The white components provide the right amount of contrast for that "S-Works" frameset. All day H.O.T.

Ditto on the stem, looks weird having it angled down like that.

I laughed so hard when I read your reply, "anyone want a slipped disc? maybe you just like showing your ass off to everyone behind you?"

Uh, can you tell us why you think that? Would be a tad more helpful.

As for me, I wouldn't kick that R5 out of my garage. I'm more drawn to a traditional type frame with less of a sloping top tube, but overall the bike looks awesome! I'd rank it a HOT! The wheels and the bike are not overbadged which seems to be more of a rare thing these days. Nice!

I think it's right, and I'm not even a Cervelo fan.

Handlebar too tall, long head tube, thin seatstays clash with chunky rear derailleur, front end of the bike seems oversized compared to anemic rear...
I don't know. It just does not work for me.
