NBD - Another R3

I know it’s the same colorway as what Slowgo posted a few weeks ago, but I’m too excited not to share.

Based on one ride, this bike is far smoother and faster than my Felt and a real dream to ride.

still need to make some saddle adjustments, get the stem lower and adjust the bars.

Nice bike, but that bokeh filter needs more work. :p

Oh, and don't forget to remove the frame size sticker - I think that it's in the first few photos of my R3, too. :o

Forgot I left the sticker on!!

I really liked the ride, felt much snappier than my Z4.

My wife calls it a “Fred Sled”

Fred sled indeed! Enjoy, it looks great. Nice to see a Cervelo without red or black on the frame :)

Beautiful bike and great photo.

Congratulations.

Sorry to be the Debbie Downer but big chainring and largest cog? That poor derailleur! (Yes, I know it is just a photo).

Still a nice bike. Enjoy in good health.

phrantic09 may I ask what tail light you're using on the seat post? I just bought an R5 and want to mount a rear light. The seat post was round on my last bike, so my old light isn't compatible with an aero shaped seat post.

Wait, you're supposed to remove the size sticker? I thought we were like those guys who leave the labels on their jacket sleeves.

Looks like a Garmin Varia radar tail light - I've got one on my R3, too. :D

I like it

it is, best thing I never knew I wanted (aside fromDi2)

I think that I've taken one or two rides without it since I got it. Felt naked. I'd immediately get another one if I lost it.

Gorgeous bike - that orange color is the only exception I will allow to the black/red/white rule when i become God-King of the world.

Yeah.. looks like the garmin Varia. I think it does come with an aero post adapter, though the R3 comes with a round seatpost fyi.

Why not also note the crank alignment, not 3/9oc ? Im just happy to see crank side pix :) BTW, love R3 mine is a great ride.

But this isn’t hot or not :(

I vote hot

i just ordered my wife one too. It’s so nice not having to constantly look back

Yeah. I still look back a lot, but not as much - I'm hardwired to check back before moving over to avoid a hazard and now I look back at cars, when they're approaching, just so they're aware that I'm aware of them. That's the theory, at least.

Yah, I went from every 3 seconds to when the Garmin beeps at me.

Someone should start one of those "Post your pictures of..." or "Show us your..." threads for Cervelos.

It's funny how the phone A.I. gets confused with these "portrait" shots (under the saddle and the handlebars). That said, nice bike OP! I'm beginning to like the look of Cervelos.

I didn’t notice it until you pointed it out.

the bike was a 40th B-day present to myself “from” my wife

I neglected to say congratulations, by the way!

I blow dried my size label off today. I was the right thing to do.

Nice bike.

Not only did I leave the size sticker on my P2, but Cervelo put on a size sticker from the classic P2, even though it's a New P2, so it has the wrong stack and reach numbers printed on it.
