thanks, i love riding it. as for the wheels, you got it right. have now also removed the blue valve locator stickers. they have been excellent wheels on rolling courses, non-technical vertical rides and of course on flat courses. i use my DA 7850 cl24's for technical courses requiring braking or when its pouring out.

 Yep, very nice bike, deserves better pictures, though. :-))) Is that an Edge Aero fork?

you are absolutely correct, pretty poor pic. will try to get a better one! yup, edge 2.0 aero fork.

 How's the Edge in terms of comfort? I heard it'd be rather harsh?

 my R3 upgraded by a new 3T Ergosum LTD handlebars. Still awaiting for Zipp 303 wheels.

 

 Lolita, what is the black spacer under your Cane Creek conical/volcano spacer?? I have never seen such a part on that model headset.

Just wondering.

i do not find it harsh at all. perhaps a tad more rigid than the 3T for compliant ride, but the handling more than makes up for that. my speed wobbles disappeared immediately after swapping the fork and when you give it input it does what you want predictably and with immediacy. best upgrade i made by far, well maybe the second best upgrade after swapping in my trusty selle smp saddle!

 You had speed wobbles? That's hard to believe (not that i don't believe you though) given the very stiff frontend of that frame. Maybe a loose headet? Anyway, i take it that the fork is slightly more rigid than the Funda. Thanks.

 Eddymerckx,

It's just 2 carbon spacers for handelbar height adjustement .

I profited to remove one when I swap the handelbars.

2009 R3 with SRAM Red - love this bike and rides like a dream. So much so I am in the process of speccing up a new S1 with 2010 Force group for training rides etc...

Come on now, you can use the R3 as a training bike! ;-)

we know that, but the Wife doesn't :D
