Background:
I’ve searched around for quite a while on the subject of having a single bike for both training and racing. I know it is nice to have a road and tri specific bike, but that’s double the space and twice the maintenance. I’ve had my r3 and p2 for a while now, and I have always wanted di2, which could have been run externally on either one of my bikes, but I also have always wanted fully internal routing.
I’ve decided to sell/part out my Cervelo P2 and R3 and move to a S5 with di2. The major parts I will be keeping to put on the S5 will be my Rotor 3D aero crank with P2M power meter, Easton EC90 Aero Wheelset, Adamo Podium Saddle, Tri Rig Gamma Aero Extensions, Omega front and rear brakes, and Sigma flat stem (new model).
New parts I will be adding will be an aero drop bar (3T Zefiro) with 3T wide aerobar clamps, alloy compact cradles and pads, and Shimano Dura-Ace-7971 Bar End Shifters. I picked up the Zefiro Pro areo drop bar on ChainReactionCycles.com for $287.00 and plan on selling the stock 3T Egronova LTD bars to make up for most of the cost.
Old Bikes:
54cm P2 (90mm TriRig Sigma Stem)
56cm R3 (110mm Ritchey Stem)
The New Bike:
Enter the 2012 Cervelo S5 VWD with Dura-Ace 7970 10sp di2. I found one on eBay and settled with the seller outside of eBay for much less sans wheel set/crank/saddle. I went with a 54 due to the dual position seat post and having always felt too stretched out on my R3 decided the 54 S5 geometry would be right for me. I have no problem with the 7970 and 10sp because all of my wheel sets are 10sp and have no interest in 11sp at the moment.
Here is the eBay listing photo. Bike had 30 miles on it, owner bought it for his wife and she rode it twice. Shipped beautifully packed with “junk” wheel on the back to protect the hanger/battery mounts. Turns out that rear wheel (Shimano Ultegra 6500 Mavic Open Pro) cleaned up nicely and spins smooth after a bearing service/clean and will be used as my dedicated trainer wheel!
The Plan:
I finally purchased a torque wrench so I can install the TriRig Sigma stem/3T wide aero clamps when they arrive later this week. Then I will install the front and rear TriRig Omega Brakes/Aero extensions to clean up the front end. I'll be running the 7971 bar end shifters directly to the STI-7900 levers and I believe I should be able to remove/install them rather quickly if needed.
Here is how it is currently sitting as I took it to my LBS to get the P2M crank installed and I have my parts waiting to be installed!
Stay Tuned ST!
