LOL at "very accurate".
It's the brand of the scale as well as a description, much like Lightweight. |
the frame is ok, the ultegra gruppo is ok,
i can even swallow the specialized saddle but those ritchey components and those wheels are just fugly. :deadhorse: |
I just bought the 6700 groupset with wheels for $1095 Canadian. Couldn't find Force for that price and include a comparable wheelset.
I have a Red equipped bike and Rival and I am very impressed with the 6700. Looks good and works good. |

Ultegra $1500 Force $1370 I agree that Di2 would be the only Shimano group to "upgrade" from Red. Nothing else makes sense as weight is the barometer for the advancement of cycling components and it doesn't make sense to me to spend more and go heavier when Sram is out there. Poor shifting is consistently the main complaint of 7900 and new Ultegra which is the a major issue for me. Crank is nice and stiff but look horrible. As for the shop talk, NY is relatively flat. I can power up any climb (or any that I have found so far) without changing gears too much. Nevertheless, when I was out in CA with legitimate mountains consisting of multiple switchbacks, elevation changes, etc., it would have been nice--as in a novelty--to have Di2's mouse button shifting and auto-trim as opposed to SRAM Red. At my level of riding, however, let's face it, Tiagra tuned by my hands is good enough. But make no mistake, Di2 is just better... |

That bike is screaming for SRAM Red with a Force FD....

The Cervelo is still the 'A' bike. The Scott comes off the bench if we're way ahead.

Cervelo vs. Scott
You'd never confuse either bike with the other. They each are great looking in their own way and each achieves excellence in riding performance. Congrats on the new addition. |
