This bike is like a siren, but I am interested in doing some weight weenie parts to it. Does anyone know what the bike weighs out of the box? I’m guessing close to 18 pounds based on s5 team builds I’ve seen on the interweb. If you know the weight of the training wheels that come with it, that would also be helpful. (I’m hoping that they are like 2kg+)
Depends on the component group, but it’s probably 18 flat. The wheels are complete boat anchors, though. From bikeradar’s long term review of the R5:
http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/road/product/review-cervelo-r5-11-40199/
It states that wheel, tire, tube, cassette and skewer made up 2.91 kg of the weight. That was 0.53 kg heavier than a Zipp 101 with the same setup. A Zipp 101 is around 1520 grams, so that makes the Fulcrums around 2.05 kg.
Thanks! Wheel info is useful.
