Hot. Workhorse right there.

Never cared for the geometry of that frame. Always reminds me of a squatting dog pooping. Dont like the lines of the rear fork. Dont like the seatpost and the stack of spacers above the stem. Dont get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that is a bad bike in any shape or form. I just wouldn't break my neck to take a second look if I saw it on the streets.

How well does this bike shift?

the bar shape is a little too strange to me.

The Campagnolo Chorus on the De Rosa shifts perfectly. Chorus is mechanically identical to Record. Campagnolo got this group right. I have since replaced the shifter cable housing between the rear derailleur and the chainstay braze-on.

The reason I asked is because the rear derailleur cable looks awfully short. I would think if it was a bit longer, it would shift smoother.:rolleyes:
Cheers

-1 on the horrible-looking seatpost (always reminds me of a huge adam's-apple)
-1 on the tires not being mounted to line up the Schwalbe logos with the Fulcrum ones
-1 on the spacers above the stem

Otherwise, it's one of the better-looking paint jobs I've seen on a Roubaix and I bet it's a great-riding bike.

Time to upgrade soon, curious on what you fellas rate her at.

Very hot. I would cut the fork steerer tube, but still very nice.

Crazy hot. Love Cervelo.

BMC = HOT

I'm not normally a BMC fan, but the first glace grabs you!

black cervelo? yes please!
but why the negative degree stem but keep the spacers?

It's what I had available to swap out the stock FSA stem that was uncomfortably short (about 80-90mm; replacement Zipp is 110mm), holding off on a new stem until I get a proper fit to finalize components.

Hot!

Thoughts on my Giant Contend 3? I'm thinking about getting a white seat and white tape for the handlebars.

Then try again.

eh i dont care about all of that.

I think the saddle you have is a good looking one and I'd be inclined to keep it if it's comfortable. As for bar tape, you might consider silver or gray instead of white.

Ya i kinda like the saddle now that i look at it too. I'll consider gray or silver, thanks for the idea!

A handsome bike, except for those honkin' big platforms....

Hah! Agreed on the pedals. Former owner also handed me some Keo Look clipless set .

I'm new to road biking so I haven't got to ordering some road shoes yet. Next thing on the to-buy list!

I've built this 53cm RIH for a girl. The Reynolds 531 frame and fork are from 1981. Campagnolo 10sp Chorus, Centaur seatpost, SanMarco Rolls saddle, 3ttt stem, Deda handlebar, Brooks leather bartape, jagwire cables, speedplay stainless pedals and wheels with tubular tires. 9.25 kg on the scales...
