Thinking about getting a new bike
Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2015 1:59 pmWould I automatically be elevated to douchebag poser status if I got this bike?
Not if you have the speed to back it up.
BTW, you do.

Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2015 10:57 ami don't think you'd be elevated to much anything if people don't know what's so special about this bike.
(i.e. i don't know what's so special about this bike... is it special?)

In that price range, I think that I'd be more tempted to get this instead

It's a race bike with an aero frame. It's a Pro level frame, though the components in this particular model are more entry level. It might not be obvious from the photo, but in real life it looks different than your typical bike. It's even got an aero seat post. Notice the cutout in the seat tube for the rear wheel?
I read that some people say Cervelo's are, "Dentist Bikes". I didn't care, though. I test rode it twice and each time it put a smile on my face.
Bikes I considered:
Cervelo S2: Felt like a Ninja.
Specialized Venge: Except I didn't want to get an inferior version of Drew's bike. haha
Focus Izalco Ergoride 3.0: Really, really good value, but it just felt too relaxed to me. Harley?
Cannondale SuperSix Evo 5: Felt lighter and snappier, but it just didn't scream, "Buy me" to me like the Cervelo did. Mini Cooper?
Giant Propel (The one Jai posted): Couldn't find one to test ride here, but was kinda put-off by all of the, "Giant" decals. All bikes have them but they just seemed excessive to me on the Giant.

Check out the second frame in the rotating banner.
Custom S2 with a full Ultegra set for $2999. If that's what you want to settle on, I can arrange shipping through Ingram for you.

Re: Thinking about getting a new bike
Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:01 pmI actually already got the bike. Got it in February from La Bicicletta for $2700 just before the price went up.
Ultegra would have been nice, but I'm content with 11spd 105. It makes upgrades cheaper. :p
When I make a decision, I act fast. haha.
