Cervelo S3

TMR

Does anyone know of a store with a 56cm 2011 Cervelo S3 frame? Sigma had some when I checked their site last week, but they seem to be gone now.

TIA.

Have you tried Primera? They don't list stock of Cervelo's on their site but it might be worth giving them a ring.

Royles are showing a 56cm in Norwegian colours for £2.5k. You could have had it for £1,885 a few weeks ago in their offer

Why is the new S5 frame £1K cheaper than the old S3 frame if it's a 'better' frame?

Makes no sense to my small and underpowered brain.

Because it's fugly!?

Any sensible replies?

It makes no sense that the newer frame is cheaper. Newer is always more expensive.

TheTriStore always seem competitive on Cervelo pricing

They have taken a leaf out of other manufacturers books and are producing different 'lay up' and spec at differing price points. The base model is £2500 through to the vwd frame which is the same price as the S3. Marketing more than anything I feel but looking a Specialized and Cannnondale as an example, clearly the market for different spec at different prices is there, especially in the US.

Hope this helps.

Think Cervelo have had a re-think on their pricing. The S1 is gone from the line up and the S2 has been reduced from £2200 to £1600 I think.
