Steel Cervelo 54cm Italian made at Columbus - $4000
Production limited to 100 becuase of High dollar labor and material cost.
Frame-54cm 2002 limited edition(only 100 in the entire world) Cervelo Reniassance. The material used is a unique Columbus Thermcrom. The tubes were shaped, butted, drawn specifcally for Cervelo. The material was drawn into the form that Phil and Gerard designed to be as light and efficient as steel can possibly be. The welding was left to the finest makers of steel at Columbus tubing in Italy. This is the only Cervelo made in Italy. The welding process used was brazed sillet brass which ends up being lighter than a tig weld because the joining material(sillet brass) is lighter. If you are a Cervelo steel fan then you are probably wondering how this frame is different from the super prodigy? The entire rear tri-angle is thermacrom on the Renaissance unlike the super prodigy. The chain stays are a different more wide oval tapered to round on the Renaissance. This provides more lateral stiffness. The Renaissance is not nickel plated. The super prodigy was tig welded. Renaissance is significantly lighter. Frame or bike has never been ridden in the rain never wrecked and is 99% like new. There are a couple of hair line scratches that would not show up in a picture. Two small nicks. The paint is of course worn around the rear dropout where the rear wheel clamps down. 54cm top tube, 53.5cm bb center to top of top tube. You can view this bike in the discontinued models section of cervelos web site: http://www.cervelo.com/content.aspx?m=About&i=DiscontinuedModels#6 I manage Austin Tri-cyclist. One of the top five cervelo dealers in the country. This is the only steel bike in the store everyone will miss it. The bicycle is amazingly smooth. I can not empasize that enough. It is very responsive and is worthy of any great race.
