    Interesting isn't the word I'd have chose. The new colourways look f*cking hideous - whoever designed them needs a good shoeing.

    The only decent Cervelo colourway for 2013 is on the RC5a :(
  • For a pretty pricey bike, there seem to be a lot of these about.

    And they are pretty. Not said that about a Cervelo in a while.
    Steel Blue Fixed - Orange Backpack Cover

    How do i get a link to a photo in here?!

    Yeah I agree, R5ca still looks awesome but the others are not the best, especially the new R3 which looks like something from the 80's. Retro but not in a good way!

    Probably due to the offer that was on recently.

    They are FFWD F6R's, fantastic wheels, look and sound great! Got them from Velocity 44 in Stirling. They are responsible for the full build of the bike! Highly recommend them, they couldn't have been more helpful.
