It looks like there is a delay in delivery that varies for different frame sizes and group sets. The easiest way would be to ask the distributor ..

Andres,
How tall are you and what is your saddle height?
I am 1.791 (5"10.5) and I ordered a 56 too.
Based on the the stack/reach and also headtube size I surmised that there was not way a 54 would work.

Bootsie...

I'm 6'2'' and my saddle is at 81cm from the c-bb. The stack of the 58 is more favorable to my body morphology (long legs) however it's too long, so I went 56. Not knowing much about your fit requirements, going off your info, you're most likely on the right size frame.

Thanks. Looking at the amount of post that you have showing, I should be good at my saddle height.

Yea, we tried that. They say: communicate with your LBS. This is a replacement frame for the faulty one we returned on warranty. So have been without the bike now for 6 month.

To keep some understandable informations for a secret is a living miracle, not only in the bike industry. No idea to push their communication forward ..

I saw one at Tune Cycle in Boca Raton, Fl last week. It was awesome looking as well as the other new models.

An S5 DI2 just hit my shop. I am going to mock it up to see if it is a good fit for me.

Mine is in my garage. It will go together today or this weekend.
They shipped my bike with no handlebars- then they shipped out a set of size 44cm (wrong size) bars.
I wonder if Cervelo does not have 42cm bars and that is their holdup?
I may be using different bars on mine.

Hi sausskross,

Yes, exactly: my comments are for North America. I don't know about EU timing, but Mr. Lobber's information seems likely.

Cheers,






Wow, just wow! It's fully assembled to ride now. The cables have to be shortened after the stem length decision for an easy balance on the rocket. 11cm seems to work fine, uphill out of the saddle is to check to be sure .. oSo >>

Uahahaha ..

The mechanic I trust asked me to assist the build. I was happy about that and a little bit proud.



Black bar tape is now added to finish, a 53 chainring, 11 - 23 cassette, time rxs pedals, flite saddle, stem lenght seems to work, cables have to be shortened after some test rides .. oSo >>

I had the original S5 with mechanical and the looping cables over the stem. Then the 2013 S5 with di2 - no more looping cables.

di2 FTW.

PS nice bike.

Check if the grooves & matching finns of the round press slices are fine and don't use any grease there ..

Upsi, the seat post went down slowly in spite of carbon mounting gel. The 17 on the clamp (seems to be seriously, even I can not really believe that for carbon) means something different!!!

Edit: The mechanic answered: "Are you crazy!!!" and showed me 17 on a screw in a vice, than he greased the nutbold in the clamp for proper torque transmission and gave it a 8.

It doesn't seem as if MTN Qhubeka is using the new aero bar + stem. Is it currently UCI unapproved?

Where are you mounting your garmin on those bars? Is there a clean out front type mounting solution?
