The bike is a 2006 soloist team. I haven't owned a racing bike before this. My only other bike is a 2004 cannondale 1FG single-speed mountain bike -Unfortunately this means I can't give you any comparisons, but I will say that out of the gate it's extremely responsive and a compelte thrill to get out on the pavement. |

Re: Show Me A Photo Of Your Road Bike
I have been riding a Trek 5000 for years now and always liked it fine. Could never really keep up with the roadies and being 41 and only able to put in a couple hundred miles a week with the work commute I never had dreams of grandeur. I always focued more on body building anyway.
Well to make a long story short, I finally saved up enough and bought a stock Cervelo R3 and got it fitted by an ex uci pro. All I can say I feel like I am reborn, feel like the first time I got ...  ...this is why people enjoy riding so much. I can just throw it in the big crank and go and go...20mph in the old bike was always a challenge but with this bike and the fitting...geez. Now I know why those other guys looked so cool and not pushing as they passed me.It is amazing and will get you a picture but it is just stock right now. I put my old mountain pedals and still use my mountain shoes. I have to get a set of Look pedals and sidi shoes now...I am hooked. If you can put it on your credit card or save up for a year like me ... do it...just do it...this is the most amazing ride I have ever had and dreams of grandeur are coming to me now...I will get the at body fat down from 11 to 6 by next year and just fly...It brought back the love for cycling and more.. -john sirabella |
