I really can't afford $600 for the assos fugu, though it is obviously brilliant.

I've had my S1 about 3 1/2 weeks at this point. I've put about 200 miles on it, and it performs as expected. When my LBS was putting it together, the store manger told me to come in and check it out when it was in the "rolling chassis" stage (wheels, no tires). As we were admiring it, he grabbed the seatpost to mount it on a a stand, and lo and behold the clamp was loose. My brand new Ksyrium Elites along with frame fell onto the floor on the rim edges. The manager caught the bike in the upright position and inspected the wheels. Things appeared to be okay, but today I was just inspecting the bike, and noticed a small bump near the edge of the rear wheel. there's definitely a small raised area where the rim hit the floor. The wheel appears true but the integrity of the braking surface is slightly compromised. I will be going to my LBS for an adjustment, and will bring this up. I'm wondering if I should demand a new rear wheel? </article> <article> <h1>Doping!</h1> <p>THY — Tue, 26 May 2009 19:47:56 GMT</p> <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=no&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmsn.tv2sporten.no%2Fsykkel%2Farticle2745442.ece&sl=no&tl=en&history_state0=">- I was tested <b><u>200 times</u></b> and <u><b>was doped in 100 of cases.</b></u> Yet I was only taken once, "says Bernhard Kohl.</a> </article> <article> <h1>R3 Buildup :)</h1> <p>Whitey22 — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 01:20:33 GMT</p> <p>Hey peeps im eagerly awaiting the arrival of my R3 frameset this week i will post pictures when complete hopefully in a few days :) im hoping for it to be atleast a sub 7kg build when done J hopefully specs will be..... </p> <p>*R3 Frameset 54cm</p> <p>*3t funda fork</p> <p>*Full Sram Red Groupset</p> <p>*2009 Fsa K-Wing Compact Bars, 42cm</p> <p>*2009 FSAos-99 csi stem </p> <p>*2009 look ti carbon pedals </p> <p>*3t doric team seatpost</p> <p>*selle italia carbino flow saddle (white)</p> <p>*campy Shamal ultra gold wheelset</p> <p>*vittoria corsa open evo red/black tires</p> <p>*white sram hoods with white sram bar tape (may change to red tape with white hoods though)</p> <p>*KMC X10 SL Chain Ti & Gold 10 Speed</p> <p>*M Part Chainstay Protector Carbon Fibre</p> <p> this will be the build so far may possibly be changing wheelset to reynolds dv46c's still deciding wether or not to though</p> <p>thanks </p> </article> <article> <h1>Catlike Whisper Plus Helmet - Medium not 54-58cm!</h1> <p>gracie — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:14:43 GMT</p> I bought a Catlike Whisper Plus from wiggle. I read online that the 2009 medium size was bigger so I had some doubts when I ordered. I've worn medium sized Giro Atmos, Bell Sweep and Lazer Genesis helmets and all fit fine. My head circumference (measured around the forehead where the helmet sits) is 56cm. The medium Whisper Plus is about 1cm too big. I'm wondering if the small will be too small or will fit. Has anybody had a similar experience? If anybody has a small, can you please measure your head (or the inside of the helmet) and tell me if there is any room to go bigger or smaller. Thanks! </article> <article> <h1>New R3</h1> <p>domino — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:43:09 GMT</p> <p>Ordered my new R3 from Competitive Cyclist on Friday. It was one of the 2009 complete bike models with Dura-Ace 7900 components. My first new bike in over 20 Years. My current bike is a 1989 vintage Tomassini SLX steel frame with Campy Chorus components purchased back in '89. I never even ridden one of the new composite frame bikes. I'm sure it will be an eye opener. I have been enjoying this forum for a while now. My new R3 should be here on Thursday.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </article> <article> <h1>54 or 51...Again / Saddle-Bar Drop</h1> <p>dumalam — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:04:50 GMT</p> <p>1.74.5cm tall. Short legs and long torso. Really want an R3 and very close to buying. Tried bundling lots of questions in one post before, and bothering people with pvt messages (whose replies I am very thankful for) but let me boil it down to this:</p> <p> </p> <p>With a saddle height of 70.5cm (might be 71, but lets be conservative) what is the max (no spacers) saddle to bar drop possible on a 54 R3?</p> <p> </p> <p>Problem is that I don;t have measurements from a previous bike cause I was on too big a bike with barely any drop (and no clipless pedals). But I want more drop now. Even to race. How can I know how much will be good and how much will be too much? I understand that I'll only really know after several weeks of riding what's comfortable for me. I'm concerned I'll buy the 54 for example, and then want to lower my bars further. Was suggested that I could then go neg stem, but I'd feel like I should have just gotten the 51. </p> <p>Reach and top tube are better on the 54 for me, though I've gotten top tube recomendations of 535 to 555. Long live "pro" fitters. I guess it's a case of the more people you ask, the more opinions you'll get.</p> <p>Anyone with experience of similar measurements, or with any thoughts at all is welcome.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> </article> <article> <h1>SLC-SL seems super thin</h1> <p>OC Socal — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:27:20 GMT</p> <p>This frame is super thin and light and wondering how much of an impact it can take.

In between, the season’s most important and prestigious race offers ample ground for Cervélo TestTeam to perform.<br /> <br /> “It’s an interesting Tour, above all for us, a very interesting first week,” said <a href="http://www.cervelo.com/staff.aspx#49">Cervélo TestTeam sport director <b>Jean-Paul Van Poppel</b></a><b>.</b> “The weather conditions will mark the race and there will be some opportunities for us to do something when we are up in the north. Especially the third stage, with some cobblestones, we have a lot of riders who can do something on the cobblestones.”<br /> <br /> The route offers something for everyone. With an opening week across Holland, Belgium and northern France,<br /><a href="http://www.cervelo.com/riders.aspx#2">Cervélo star sprinter and <i>defending green jersey-winner</i> <b>Thor Hushovd</b></a> will have chances to go on the hunt for sprint victories and make a run for the yellow jersey.<br /> <br /> “I like the parcours. It’s very difficult, especially the final week, which is good for me. A lot of the sprinters won’t be able to make it through the Pyrénées,” said <a href="http://www.cervelo.com/riders.aspx#2">Hushovd</a> after watching the 45-minute Tour presentation in Paris. “My goals are the same as always, to win stages and try to win the green jersey again. It’s never easy, but the Tour is always hard. Last year was good for our team and I think next year, we’ll be even better. I like the return of the prologue. We haven’t had one in a few years and I always do pretty well. It’s a chance to take the yellow jersey.”<br /> <br /> Week two, which enters the Jura Mountains and the Alps, opens things up for stage-hunters and breakaway artists, like Cervélo’s <b><a href="http://www.cervelo.com/riders.aspx#39">Heinrich Haussler</a>,</b> who won a breakthrough stage victory across the Vosges Mountains this year.<br /> <br /> “It’s definitely harder than last year’s Tour. That last week won’t be easy for anyone. <a href="http://www.cervelo.com/riders.aspx#1">Carlos</a> should be able to really do well in the Pyrénées and we’ll be working for him,” said <a href="http://www.cervelo.com/riders.aspx#39">Haussler</a>, who also attended the presentation. “There are some very interesting stages, especially in the first half of the Tour. I’m not a pure sprinter, but with the stages that go over the cobblestones and later in the second week will present a good chance to try to win a stage. After winning a stage this year, I will only have more confidence and motivation going into 2010.”<br /> <br /> Week three sees the GC favorites stepping forward, with a demanding and decisive string of stages across the towering peaks of the Pyrénées.<br /> <br /> This year’s route underscores the historical importance of the rugged Pyrénées by setting them up as the Tour’s centerpiece in what’s the 100<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the first true mountain stages, introduced a century ago in 1910.<br /> <br /> That’s music to the ears of Cervélo’s GC captain and 2008 Tour de France champion <b><a href="http://www.cervelo.com/riders.aspx#1">Carlos Sastre Candil</a>,</b> who won a breakout stage victory in 2003 at Aix-3 Domaines, which is the setting of the finish for stage 14.<br /> <br /> A summit finish up the Tourmalet in stage 17 will prove decisive to anyone hoping to win the Tour. The stage is ideally situated for <a href="http://www.cervelo.com/riders.aspx#1">Sastre</a>, who rises to the occasion in the third and final week of a grand tour.<br /> <br /> Close proximity to Spain will allow thousands of <a href="http://www.cervelo.com/riders.aspx#1">Sastre’s</a> fans to pour over the border to cheer on the Spanish climber as he takes on the Tour after not quite having the legs to successfully defend his Tour crown in 2009.<br /> <br /> A penultimate-day time trial, held on a 51km flat course in Bordeaux, will keep fans and riders alike sitting on the edge of their seats until the final moments of the race.<br /> <br /> “I think the most important stages are the climbing stages to Aix-3 Domaines and the Tourmalet, but there are a lot of other stages in between where we can do something,” <a href="http://www.cervelo.com/staff.aspx#49">Jean-Paul Van Poppel</a> said. “The time trial is long and going north, so perhaps it will be against the wind. It’s long, but we only have to do it once. It’s an interesting Tour, but from what I see now, it’s a very interesting first week. A lot will depend on the weather conditions.”<br /> </article> <article> <h1>WTB Soloist Team Frame 58cm</h1> <p>gregrides — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:23:20 GMT</p> <p>Long shot I know but I am looking for a used soloist team frame in a size 58cm, the all grey one.

Since I snapped the felt I've been forced to ride my dolan track champion around, not the nicest of rides on the road. I'm 6 foot 2 (188cm) , fairly evenly proportioned (inseam from bottom of foot to groin is about 34 inches (86cm)). </p><p>I'm pretty heavy at 16 stone (not fat really just have humongous quads) and not very fleixble, I can just touch my toes but have no chance in getting my palms flat on the floor. </p><p>On my current setup I have a verticle top of seat to bb drop of 81cm and a ctc top tube (horizontal) of 59cm. I can't choose between the 58 or 61, my fears with the 58 is that id have too bigger drop from seat to bars, anyone think this would be the case? I know there is little difference in reach between the 58/61 so thats not really an issue as I have a few stems. </p><p>Id rather get the 58/61 for aero and weight but as I'm not flexy I really dont like big seat to bar drops. Any advice (other than to try one out :/). I've read as much on this as I can, in another thread on here (http://forums.cervelo.com/forums/t/3919.aspx) There is a 6 foot 2 guy with 35.5 inch legs who rides a 58 and has it setup like this </p><p> </p><p>This would be pretty uncomfy for me and as this guy is the same height im leaning towards the 61? cheers!
