Me. It's my only road bike, it's beautiful gun-metal gray and indestructible! Do have a second bike for tris/TTs.

I got the red and black team soloist. Considering a new one, but top line bikes are so bloody expensive these days.

Yep, I still love mine. I also have an SLC-SL that is mainly used for racing, but the soloist get used for most of my miles.
I'll be rock'in it at Battenkill in a couple of weeks!
I have the anodized grey one that never seems to wear.

2007 gunmetal grey. Haven't ridden it much this year in favor of the tri bike. Everytime I think about getting something new I go for a ride and decide there's no need to.

Me. I got one as a result of my R2.5 chainstay getting a crack, and got a Soloist Carbon as part of my warranty claim with Cervelo (I think I paid $300 to get the SLC). I just rode mine today, and it's still a stellar ride. Much as I would like to get a new road bike, I'm not sure that there is much of an upgrade out there, framewise, to what I already have. I really loved my R2.5, and think it was a more comfy ride than the SLC, but that's about it. In fact, I think I may just upgrade the wheels/components before I think about changing the frame.

I do. My only bike. Nice ride. Have there been any notable advances in frame development that I am unaware of since the soloist was released?

My S1 is my sketchy ride bike. I always want one alu bike for sketchy group rides, sketchy roads. When the S1 is toast, I'll probably get the Alu Canyon or Cannondale CAAD8.

I have an 06 (I think) in anodized black... its in road bike trim now and I prefer riding it more than my P4. If I can only keep 1 bike, it will be the Soloist.

black anodized for me, I think '05. Not sure why I'd ever try to "upgrade".

I heart that bike.

I'm still riding my 2004 soloist team bike. Ok...so I cracked the frame (replaced for free about four years ago with the white s1)...and I've destroyed both of the original wheels...and upgraded to 10 speed. But aside from that...it's the same bike. Since I will never be a bike racer, i see no reason to replace mine anytime soon. When I do, it will be for titanium...i think.

I think you may want to look into the upcoming release of Cervelo's admantium line...perfect for you swimmer types.

Still have my soloist for riding in the city, or sketchy or easy group rides. Have an S5 for when I'm out on the open roads.

I wish. Ride an old Fort that's getting closer and closer to the bike grave, so am keeping an eye open for an anodized soloist. What a great bike.

Yep, my main ride is still the original blue/black Soloist that I bought 9 years ago. Plan is to replace it soon, although that's been the plan for a while and I still haven't gotten around to it...

Me. I have a 2006 in the matt black finish . It's been relegated to trainer and bad weather duty, but every time I get on it I'm amazed at how much I still like it.

My '06 black anodized probably the best looking bike I've got in the stable
Sad thing is I bought it a tad too big (61, I shoulda gone 58) so its only got 900 miles on it - reminds me of that Ferrari in Ferris Beullers day off that spends its days in the garage, yet deserves so much more!
