Cervelo r3
Hello, I am a junior racer, and I am looking over some options for a new bike. I really like the s2, and that is what I probably will go with, but i am curious about the r3. Is it stiff enough to race? I am not worried about comfortable geometry, and I wan something aggressive, will i find that with the r3?
thnks

No. The R3 is closer to the Tarmac, although it probably has a slightly longer head tube than the Tarmac for a given size. It is not a 'relaxed' bike like the Roubaix. I have a 2008 R3 and a CAAD10, and - aside from the R3 being lighter, and maybe a little smoother over rough pavement - they ride the same.
