Cervelo R3

Rod11

Here is my newly built up 2013 R3, had a wee spin on it this afternoon and it's just fantastic. The ride is great and truly lives up to all of Cervelo's marketing blurb. Obviously need to cut the steerer once I'm sorted, and I've also got some Arundel Mandible cages on order to finish her off. Weighs in at a smidge over 7kg.

declan1

Looks great!

Nice! Good choice on the Sram it looks almost like it was made for it and nice to see a Cervelo in a slightly different colour scheme. What size frame is it though, it looks huge!

Rod11

Cheers guys, really happy with how it turned out. It's a 58, it does look big put I think the pictures make it look worse than it is. Would love to see what a 61 looks like though!

Looks great! Did you use an adaptor to run the sram red chainset?

Rod11

Yeah it's a press fit bottom bracket, GXP cranks and an adapter

Wow thats lush, but I'm surprised its over 7kg! Seriously though I love cervelo and thats... 8)

Rod11

Thanks man. Yeah, I think there's plenty of places to lose some weight though, the wheels and tires to start with could do with a diet. Think that'll be my next purchase once my bank balance recovers!

Get some Dura-Ace C24s with some nice open tubulars to finish it off

Yeah I do actually need to get a longer one, rather annoyingly. If anyone has the longer version and fancies a swap, let me know.
