Just found this on ebay and thought its a pretty good price...prob go up at the end of course but has anyone ridden the RS? I'm after a nice training bike really, I use my TT one in races.

looks an absolute bargain. This was a pro level frame that has been riden to victory in the Paris Roubaix, albeit a few years back now

I've been riding one for the past couple of years. It's a great bike - comfortable, light, responsive. Not as snappy as my R5, but perfect for training.

Great, thanks for the info guys. Lets hope it stays that price!

cervelofan

did you get it?

mattoo

Nope :-( decided it was too big in the end....looks like the RS frame is bigger than the others!

No, its not, thats an R3 that has (unless an RS has as well), the RS not only has different geometry (taller headtube, longer wheelbase?) but its also a different carbon layup, hence how much cheaper it is, (of course, that was a good deal too I expect).

Saying that though the R3 has changed a lot since it came out (and since PR win), seatube's changed, BB has changed and hence all that tubing area, and headtube's longer now too.

The RS would have been used but was deemed illegal by the UCI due to the curved seat stays.

The RS was used at PR before it was deemed 'illegal':
