Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

As some one said on the build-page for the Cervello from R & A Cycles, Enve and EPS, what is there not to love? A very nice bike!

Hot; impressively light, especially considering the added weight (~.4 lbs?) of the EPS's battery.

Not bad for external routing though.

I considered drilling holes. Cervelo customer service was nice enough to suggest someone. But voiding a lifetime warranty on new five year old very light for it's time frame is pretty dumb.

Hot Cervelo, but my WW calculations can't get close to 14.28 lbs, even if the 6.7's are tubular. Would love to see a breakdown of weight, as I'm struggling to see how it's sub 15.

People actually take the time to use calculators to fact-check the weight of other people's bicycles?

Great build. That's a legit badass Cervelo and freakin' light to boot, nicely done. I'd hit it.

My advice is buy a frame with holes. It gets messy up front.

You already have Boras. Get the 3.4 clinchers. CK R45s or if Alchemy has started up again, something from them. CX Rays. Nicest wheels on the planet. Should be pretty light as well.

do you know how hard it is to get the sum of the parts to equal the weight of the bike? guess what? it ain't gonna happen....

...if you really care, and/or you can't believe the pic of the bike on the scale...then there's there's a whole thread at weight weenies where you're supposed to list the entire build by piece with weighed weights down to bolts...trust me, I've done it...an intellectual exercise, albeit a meaningless one at the end of the day...

Most everything was weighed. I think I could do it, but it's not worth the brain damage. If I cared enough, I'd hang out at WW.
