Anyone ride Cervelo Bikes?
A friend of ours is ordering one and has asked questions about it that no one we know can answer from experience.
How do they ride? Do the hold up well? Any warranty concerns?
Are they responsive and quick?
Any information is greatly appreciated so I can pass this info along to our friend.

Tyler Hamilton was on one in the TdF - so I imagine they must ride comfortably for him to survive the race with a broken collar bone. Maybe he will be able to get a sponsorship deal with Advil.

I have had my P2K for about a year and a half. I ride it about 200 miles per week and haven't had any "warranty" issues, just minor repairs. It's stiff, but not so stiff that it's uncomfortable. My only problem is that I'm not doing many triathlons anymore, but I'm doing a lot more road riding, so I might be getting rid of it in favor of a strictly road bike.

I was getting serious about buying a Cervelo Soloist Pro until I learned that the seatpost is a propriatary (sp?) oval shape with minimal adjustment. I don't accept that type of stuff on my bikes.
A Trek 5200 is looking more likely to be in my garage this year...

Has anyone seen the latest intro page on Cervelo's website? I absolutely love it! I'm waiting to see the Limited Edition 2.5 complete with Team CSC spec up close. So sweet... especially the FSA Team CSC special edition cranks.

There's a lot of people in this thread who've never watched Southpark - if you took offense, none was intended 
The CSC carbon frames are supposedly $2000 US for the standard and $3500-4000 for the SL (underk 1 kilo) framesets. Not a bad price for a damn beautiful bike.

Keep up the bomb stuff and this thread will earn a free ticket to the political spam forum..You guys don't want that do you? Then you'd have to ask for access just to see that awesome picture!!
Even if they are jokes, it's liable to turn into a fueled debate about American imperialsim or the constitution or something like that.

"Blame Canada" was the name of the song from the move, the plot of the movie was to "Bomb Canada" in retaliation for the Canadians bombing the Baldwin's and the Arquette's over Mothers Against Canada protesting Canada harboring Terrence & Phillip.
Anyways, bad attempt at pop culture based humor, sorry!
p.s - Cervelo's are awesome bikes, read the reviews I linked way earlier in the thread if you want some more info to hunt down.

I have had a Cervelo Prodigy (steel frame) for about 2 weeks and love it. I got an amazingly good deal on it ($1700), but even at $2K, which is the price of the new Super Prodigy, it would have been a great buy. Big fan of Cervelo here.
Photos to be posted later this weekend!
