The bike is fantastic and is definite step change upwards from my previous Cervelo R5. The frame is amazing and the bike feels every bit as responsive as it should. Stiff but comfortable for long rides. It is light enough to be good in the hills but aero enough to be good on the flat too. The finish and build quality is immaculate and paired with the Ceramicspeed bearings, it is silky-smooth. The BlackInc components are excellent and the wheels have proven to be great, even in cross-winds. It's a fantastic looking bike that rides as good as it looks. I love it.
