Cervelo question... 2005 Team Soloist

I’ve searched here, Cervelo’s website for tech info and have found nothing.

I’ve started gathering components and need to know a few things. For instance, what size bottom bracket and headset do I need. I see different dimensions listed when I look them up.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated,

Luke

I would go back to the site and into the forum section and post your question. They are typically pretty quick at getting back to you.

The BB has an english thread and the width will depend on whether you run a double or triple crankset. Spindle length won’t matter if you have the outboard bearing BB design.

Headset size you want is 1 1/8" and Cervelos typically use cartridge bearings with 36/45 degree contacts. If you have no idea what you just read I would head down to your LBS so they can order the correct pieces for you.

the headset should be included…it was with my p2sl frameset.

There are included but must be installed. I have a 2006 black one I am building up also.

The technical aspects of your question have been answered welll and correctly but I wanted to add that I actually owned one of these bikes and liked it enough to buy the subsequent model year *and *the new carbon version. I think you’ll enjoy it.

My goal here is to build it right… whether or not I can do it justice is another story altogether. ;^)
The same logic I apply to acoustic guitars, guns, etc. Buy the best one I can manage, then, I can’t blame anything on equipment error.

Thanks again,

Luke
