    Apart from the R5 range the colour schemes are not to my liking...especially the S5.Yuk!

    I think if you have both light and dark colours on a bike, they look better with the darker

    colours towards the back of the frame and lighter colours towards the front.

    LOL!!! How predictable

    Cervelo engineer 1: "Okay team, we're going to completely redesign our paint schemes for 2013!"

    Cervelo engineer 2: "Awesome! A chance to do something totally different!"

    Cervelo engineer 3: "woohoo!!! I love being creative!"

    Cervelo engineer 4: "How about we use a grey/white red and black theme like we always do, except this time we'll just change it ever so slightly, what about black on grey with red accents? We haven't quite tried that yet have we? or grey writing on black?"

    Cervelo engineer 5: "I love it, it sounds fresh! It sounds exciting!"

    In reality it's boring as hell and the rest of us can't wait for the engineers to let people with good taste paint their admittedly awesome frames. It's like they freaked themselves out after all those interestingly painted R5's from the past couple years and retreated back to their black red grey/white boring as hell safety zone. Fail.

    Anyhow, I'm about to be flamed, so I should quit. At least if the bikes are cheaper this year I could use the money I save from buying an R3 to have it painted half decently

    Nearly all of them are ugly as hell. What were they thinking? The designs remind me of 2005. Can't wait to see what the P3 looks like (if it's still in the line-up).

    Ouch!  Where do they get those designs?  Who dreams this up?

    Going out on a limb here. They are not that bad. I actually like the S5. Not sure about the R3, but let's wait until some better photos and in person views to really make a decision.

    Although the pics are a bit fuzzy, it doesn't look like the R3 or R5's have gone internal with cabling, nor are they Di2 internal ready. What a shame!

    Glad I got my S5 before this monstrosity. For the first time in my life, I'm not jealous to the new model year of any kind (car, bike, snowboard, ski, etc). I think Cervelo peaked in there aesthetics department in 09.

    I actually like the S5 design, the R5 in stealth doesn't look much different, but the R3 and S2 stink a bit. The bolder graphics on the model numbers are a nice change though.

     Well... I am glad I got mine. The 2012 R3 Team is a much prettier bike.

    Cycling community: these current schemes are too boring! They need to change things up! Cycling community: these new paint schemes are horrible!! Some turn to custom paint: turns out, it's either boring or horrible...but at least they got to pick their colours.

    I think the worse part is all the huge multiple logos all over the bikes. The small subtle decals were way more classy IMO.
