That Cervelo appeals to the repressed club racer in me. What does it weigh? Almost nothing I bet.

my n+1 moment inspired by entirely blamed on Frenchie in this thread



it's not new, has a couple of cosmetic scratches in the top coat and a few chips in the paint round where the cable goes into the frame, but it rides absolutely beautifully and will hopefully help me hang on to the fast bunch on a sunday morning!



Very nice indeed. The Cervelo colour schemes were at their best as Team CSC bikes in my opinion.

If you can't hang on to the bunch on one of those, there's only one thing left to do.... train  ;)

That's lovely, Charlotte. I've never said that about a bike with racks and mudguards before.   :thumbsup:

That does look very nice. The pump under the top tube looks like a great idea but requires a frame of a certain size. My short legs mean a shorter frame and I could chose between the pump or the bottles (tight enough getting the seat tube bottle in.)

Out of interest, what size frame do you ride? I have no problem getting a Zefal HpX and two bottles in a 51cm frame.

Nice bike Charlotte but (genuine question here) won't the front lamp make using a handlebar bag a bit of a bugger?

Ooh that is lovely. The steerer tube bracket for the Cyo is great. That font is also the nicest that Roberts do.

Hmm, I wonder if they do cyclescheme...

Very nice.  Is the chain a bit short though*?

Your bike is purty, Charlotte :)  And I don't often think that about bikes-which-aren't-black-or-as-near -as-makes-no-odds.  It also looks huge - I have a sneaking suspicion that the top tube would armpit height on me!

Charlotte, I see in your blog that you mention Avid BB7s. Should that be Single Digit 7s?
