Hello fine cycling enthusiasts and experts!
I have a 2014 Cervelo S2 105 I'm selling. I bought and still have new Campy Zondas for it.
I'm buying today a 2013 Specialized Tarmac Pro with Royal Fusees on it.
What happened: my 2003 Allez Elite 'gym and pub with wife' bike was stolen, in front of the gym cable locked. I miss it. I rode the S2 in a triathlon last summer. The aero frame catches the wind a bit here in Venice and I don't like it for non-racing cruising all around I guess.
Yes, many lines of questioning could be made already. But I'm going in the above direction.
On paper, the Zondas are lighter. But the Royals are more $. Is either considered by 'experts' a significantly better wheel?
I will sell the S2 with whichever wheelset I think is a little worse.
Of course I'm going to try both before I settle on which one to keep.
Just thought I could solicit some hopefully informed input to help my decision if it's close.
Thanks! Colby
p.s. With aerobars and in the future aero wheels the Tarmac will probably race close to the speed of the S2 for me cause I currently won't be rolling much over 20-21 mph on average. On Letsrun.com they would call my 5k mile time of 21 minutes a hobby jogger. Sorry for the disclosure and if this contributes to any disappointment to you. Haha. I'm probably the guy in your age group a few rows down that you can feel good you dropped on the bike.
