Some guy in the velo club has an S3. Wall-to-wall dura ace. That bike is sexy as hell.
I smoked him last saturday with my aluminum 2004 s-works.
I want a cervelo because iam a fanboy no lie. i ALSO LOVE THE ALL BLACK KIT.
I,ve got an SL SLC,love and did Ironman on it,but unfortunately I dropped it and cracked the top bar,got it repaired,they cracj like an eggshell but a very impressive bike.
Hi everyone. I´ve been doing a lot of running in the past but am starting to experience increasing pain in my knees and shins after longer runs, so I have been considering road bikes for a while. I wouldn´t be doing any races, but i plan on doing some serious training at least 2-3 times a week.
Would the S1 work as a first bike for me or would i be wasting money on things i don´t need?
S 2 in Ontario, Canada sells for $ 4.300 I just got the price 2 days ago. I am in love with 2010 Cervelo S 2 as it is white and looks so sharp but I am not sure if it is worth almost 5.000 dollars. But because I am addicted to it I will pay that much…
bout 4500 for the s1 here in nz, but thats still big bucks for me, so I got on a 07 team soloist-alluminum, for 1850 second hand, and it came upgraded, with slk carbon cranks, bontrager racexlite wheelset, slr saddle. So the point is, their bikes a really really good deals, just keep your eyes pealed
how much are these bikes
i dont know which brand to go for principia or cervelo?????
Well I just rode an 2009 S1. Just as Andy said. The bike is as described. Fast and stiff and it is a “killer bike for the money”. I also rode an Felt F4 with SRAM Red right after i rode the S1and the S1 was just as good as the Felt F4 carbon, other than the shifting. SRAM RED is awsome! So thanks to Andy’s review I have made a decision on a 2010 S1 frame that will be built with a Sram Red grouppo.
Thanks Andy.
Just bought the new S2 last week!!! really an awesome bike!!! btw my bike weights just 6.77kg with new 7900dura-ace groupset n zipp wheelset!!! still can b very light!!!
thnx 4 da info andy,..
I’m going to buy an S2 now! This has helped out so much in the decision-making process. Thanks Andy!
Agreed on all points. I’ve got the Soloist Carbon SLC-SL (S2 SL) and it’s the best bike I’ve ever ridden. I can’t get enough of this machine… Racing, triathlons, country rides, 160 mile one days, everything feels nice on this ride. Andy, thanks for your honest enthusiasm and proper assessment of the bikes. I don’t need to buy one — I own one!
I love my R3….awesome on climbs and decents….very stiff, and I’m 6′ 2″ and over 220lbs.
“…as certain as death and taxes.”
Haha, love it
.
Thanks Andy, I swear I watched this like 100 times.. I ended up buying the R3-SL and luv it!
I would take the S1.
hunnnnn…., the “ride R3″ win so many races…., let’s see.
paris-roubaix twice, 08 tour de france….., so many others….
I don’t agree with you pall.
Bike won a race..hmmm, but where was the rider..?! Aero stuff is mind shitting, in 80′s on Paris-Roubaix avg speed was the same as now’a days..
Andy always does thorough reviews! great job
Awesome info Andy. First hand info on both the bikes was appreciated
Its a shame the cervelo r3 doesnt fit me. My current custom 63cm frame has a 625mm top tube, and my next custom frame will have a 615mm top tube, so off the shelf frames are out of the question
Thanx for the review! Great
Good, solid review.
You missed the R3 SL, the best
Dam Andy, you are the MAN! It’s unbelievable how much you know about bicycles. Your wealth of knowledge is just amazing, I got so much information watching your vid. Dude, you need a girlfriend.
