Ha...you guys are too funny ! I was seriously thinking a P2 with S5 aero bars,though.

I do!

Why not a merida reacto? It's faster than everything but an S5 and is really quite comfy.

When will the new S5 be available for order? And will it be available as a frame/fork/post/bar combo (or some version of this)?

Hi jackrobinson,

Currently planning for late October or early November. Complete bikes will be available first. Every S5 model (Dura-Ace, D-A Di2, and Ultegra) will include the handlebar. Framesets include the fork and post, but not the bar - just order it as well and you'll be set.

Cheers,

Thanks for the fast reply.

Damon - why no love for SRAM anymore? As I begin shopping for my next (aero) race bike I see that almost no manufacturers have SRAM stock on their aero bikes. Is their no love for it in the marketplace or are their technical issues with cable routing, etc preventing it?

Pretty sure that's the old reacto. Not the reacto evo used by lampre.

Hi Damon,

here in Germany they gave me week 07 as delivery date for my order. Is the early availability just for Northern America ore is there maybe a chance for me by "diggin' softly deeper" in the Cervélo Europe delivery chain to support my local dealer?

Cheers, Sausskross

One German Cervelo reseller told me the first batch of bikes is of very limited quantity and split in tiny numbers between all the dealers in the country. Thus, if you didn't manage to snatch one, next opportunity might come only in February or perhaps even March 2015.

Need more W/CdA.

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,

Hi Jesse,

I love my SRAM. Has worked well for me since 2010, always good shifting I can count on. And light, too. In fact, SRAM's strong spring makes rear shifting especially reliable with internal routing. A friend of mine recently bought an S5VWD and had the retailer change the parts from Shimano to SRAM. SRAM is good stuff.

To get SRAM on a Cervelo, work with your Cervelo retailer for options. We sell framesets you can build up with any parts, and dealer willing, changing parts (like my friend did) is also an option.

Cheers,

Sometimes patience is really hard, fortunately there is a still rockin' SLC to make it easier.

Thanks for posting. Good to see official confirmation the geometry is returning to the goodness from a few years ago. Give the low and aero folks a chance again!

Do we have an MSRP for the frameset yet?

stand by!

in the EU the frame set incl. fork & post (not handlebar) is listed with EUR 3800.- .. http://www.cervelo-shop-bonn.de/cervélo-s-serie/cervélo-s5-2015/ .. it's about USD 4.800.-

edit: the link has broken signs, just go to .. http://www.cervelo-shop-bonn.de .. and click Cervelo S-Serie and then Cervelo S5 2015, the frame set is listed at the bottom ..

Isn't that supposed to be today? I'm on east coast time and I guess there's another 20 minutes to the start of the business day on the west coast.
So
