pastapouch Posted December 7, 2006 Share honestly' date=' without trying to stir, would cervelo's be as popular if thy were never ridden by a big pro tour team ? [/quote'] I've known Cervelo bikes since 2000. Trizone store used to stock them. Its was still the Cervelo One. At that time the One was R16,000. Didn't have the money then.

_Daemon_ Posted December 7, 2006 Share Soloist alu seems a little on the heavy size for a frame. Comes in at 1425 g w/out headset, seatpost clamp and bottle cage bolts according to http://weightweenies.starbike.com/listings/components.php?type=roadframes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted December 7, 2006 Share honestly' date=' without trying to stir, would cervelo's be as popular if thy were never ridden by a big pro tour team ? [/quote'] I think that is the whole point of sponsorship. That is why Giant insisted that their name is on the bike and not like when Pinarello sponsored T-mobile and all you saw was T-mobile all over the bike.

Spinnekop Posted December 7, 2006 Share I ride an alu Soloist with D/Ace and FSA components. I'm on my 2nd frame as the first one cracked on the seat post below the clamp. My 2nd frame is also starting to crack there . Despite that I am very happy with the bike. However I must agree' date=' if you can afford the carbon then get (purely for the bling effect) it but remember the alu bike is as fast both up and down a hill![/quote'] Got a very good friend down in the Cape that Broke is Alu at the same place........SAD.....Got the Carbon and he is happy!!!

RABUBI Posted December 7, 2006 Share I Have the alu, amazing bike, but a very hard ride. Frame may be a bit heavy, but total weight is 7.4kg. But my form was so bad this year it does not realy justify the bike, but next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tour Posted December 7, 2006 Share If the Powerbar team who are sponsored by Cervelo and can't get replacements when they crack their frames what chance does a normal customer have??? Cervelo obviously like having "their" riders riding Giant????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E1A104 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Get either - bound to get recalled in 6 - 8 months time, that way you are always on a new frame .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Seuss Posted December 7, 2006 Share ivans - the geomatry of thr r3 is exactly the same a that of the soloist. the r3 is an amazingly soft ride and of course very light. it does however feel asif the solois is more aero - especially in a headwind or going downhill.
