After having a few issues with my old foil being a touch too small for me I've taken the plunge and gone for a new bike.

Cervelo r2, fresh out of the box. Need to make a few tweaks and add the usual cages, garmin stuff etc but thought I'd add a few pics.

First impressions are very good. Fancied something different from the usual white or blacks I normally go for and I'm loving the colour. It's a little like me.......grey with a hint of ginger! :lol:

    Did you actually pick that colour or was the bike going cheap?

    Haha, yes I did choose the colour although it was discounted. Guess it's a bit marmite :lol:

    Personally I think the colour is great, only thing I would change is the seat post to an all black one. I believe 3t do one which has black decals which would then match your bars and satisfy my OCD about bars/stem/seat post matching. Nice ride though
    Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated!

    Thanks guys. Upgrades will have to wait for a while but yes, a 3T post is on the shopping list.

    Been on my first ride this morning and the colour split opinion of my mates, I love it so that's all that matters haha :D

    Its a very nice colour as others have said, and probably a bit more comfortable than your old Foil
