My Domane has the infamous BB90 bracket, which finally needed replacement after 10,000 miles. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t expensive to have replaced ( though I do know of more severe issues with the Madone).
I’m going to keep Cervelo on my list, and take several models for a ride. Perhaps the C3 is too close to the Domane, and maybe I need something a little tighter for the mountains of VA.
Too many choices - I really need to cull the herd......
I've had my C3 all over the Cascades, and a bit in the Olympics and Kettles. I'll dig up some pictures later. It's a fine bike for mountains.
Given that you have a similar bike, I'd be more interested in an R5 Disc. But it really depends what you want to do with it. There are a lot of fantastic bikes out there from a lot of great companies. I like Cervelos personally because of how they handle.
