Oh, I forgot to mention this regarding the T5 sales: I think Cervelo may have expected poor sales. Did they even try to sell the bikes? Usually when top tier bikes like these (L96, R96, BT Stealth/Edge, etc...),
somebody will buy them and show up at Masters or Elite Nationals. Did even that much happen with T5s?
Maybe Cervelo was in it for advertising only all-along. Like Nike making shoes for Cav, but not having sold cycling shoes to the general public in over 15 years. I think he's on Specialized shoes now, but he was a Nike guy for a long time.
