First time build, first carbon bike. Cervelo R3
hi, this is my first time I build a bike from scratch. I bought a used cervelo R3 2013 frame and fork off from eBay, then Campagnolo Vento wheelset (new), SRAM force groupset (used from eBay). FSA handlebar (NOS from eBay). with shimano A530 pedal (new) and total weight is little more than 16.5lbs. Here is the picture. It is a road bike and I put SRAM force 1 (sorry, I really mean CX1 since Force 1 hasn't released yet as of today). I like the way how it feel. simple setup and simple control and I can focus more on pedaling. The wheel set look nice too.
