That's why the P4 has that little "nose" near the top of the seatstays; not for aerodynamics, it's a "cowcatcher" to keep rodents from getting jammed in there.

This is why Crowie chose the new Specialized instead of Cervelo.

Wait ... it was still alive? It's hard to imagine how and why he wedged himself in there...

I have no idea as to how or why. I can only guess that it had something to do with the sleek, sexy lines of the S3. Or maybe it was that internal cable routing that piqued his curiosity.
Re: Cervelo's new $5k rodent trap [bn]

Wow. I'm surprised that he was still alive!
Guess he won't go near bikes again after this, no matter how much he wants to put the chain on the big ring.

So many comments come to mind-
1. Is that a male or a female? If male, name him "Lance" because there are not 2 balls there.
2. And you guys think pissing on your bike is disgusting. When you are not riding it there is a rat F*cking your derailer. May as well take a piss on it to mark your territory and keep away the horny rodents.
3. A Rat on a Cervelo? Forget calling him Lance, call him Crowie.
4. His tail is too high.
5. Just imagine if you had some sort of frame integrated water bottle that you didn't clean out. Your bike would have been carried off my ants.
6. If you had DI2, it might have chewed through the wires. That would suck to find out on race morning.

"I hope he goes back and tells all of his chipmunk buddies to stay away from my bike."
Nope... He just invited his buddies to his new deep tissue rollers that removed all kinks from his lower back and hip flexors.
Don't look now...there's a line to your bike 20 chipmunks deep right now.

Looks like you're in good shape for the new UCI tolerances starting 2013:
5.2. Equipment:
a.) Wheel/frame interface (as 1st January of the current year) will apply:
(i) UCI road race - rear wheel clearance must maintain free passage of small rodents when deflated but not deceased between tire and frame.
(ii) UCI time trial rules for draft-illegal triathlon and duathlon races, see above.
(iii) UCI MTB rules for winter triathlon, cross triathlon and cross duathlon races: allowance for same, up to small mammals (including beaver, marmot and muskrat for full suspension units with more than 100m travel)

Is this the new prototype SRAM deraileur system? Looks like they still may be working out a few kinks.

The good news is that bike would most definitely pass the UCI Credit Card Test!! Hopefully the UCI and commissaries around the world don't start using live squirrels to do this test. Credit cards are better!

Did you have sugary solution like Perpeteum on your frame? Just curious as to why a mouse would even be up there.

Really? I would have killed it without a second of thought or remorse. Rodents need to stay outside.

Well, that explains the answer to the question no one has asked so far -- "how were you THAT quick with a camera/phone?" I assumed he was sort of like a cat wedging itself through a very narrow opening -- one second they're squeezing through a space you're convinced they'll never get through, the next second they're outta there. I guess this guy gave you enough time to stop laughing and get a shot. Either way, thanks for the best laugh of the weekend.

I know its an S3 but it looks like early release of 2012 P4 Rear Brake Upgrade. gotta get my hands on one.
Would you describe your bike-handling skills as squirrelly?
