Beautiful! - Love the paint scheme.

Hushovd i going to look great crossing the finishline first tomorrow with that bike and the new team-kit. (The helmet has to go though… :slight_smile:

I like what you’ve done with the paint…the red highlights look schmick.

It’ll look a little funny if they do eventually come out with a S4 tho… :wink:

Nice.

What’s with the bontrager stem? I love them personally but thought they were partnered with 3T.

Wow. And that paint scheme is very nice. An interesting departure from some previous Cervelo color schemes. I like it.

Now, about my EP for those S3’s…

Way more questions than answers…

  1. weight?
  2. no top cable routing?
  3. why 7800?
  4. paint looks Giant-like - yuck
  5. STA look steeper than prior versions

The bike in the photos is a 2008 soloist carbon with a custom paint job.

I kinda wondered since the rear end and the cable routing looked familiar. Hmmm.

Finally. Cervelo have a top drawer paint scheme. That one really looks great !

I thought I could fool a few of you. It’s a 2008 SLC custom painted by Darin Wheeler at 2wheelercustoms.com

I wanted a look that could pass as a Cervelo and confuse people, which I have clearly done (someone on a local ride here in SC posted this question)

Here are a few pics of the progression. I sent him a photoshop idea of what I was looking for and I think Darin did an excellent job.

Cool…

You could have just said it was a 2008 SLC that was painted. I still would have been impressed a little.

Fooled me.

But you will look the fool when/if the real S4 comes out.

How much does Darin usually charge?

I’m thinking about buying a Trek TTX and having him paint it to look like Lance’s One-of-A-Kind bike that was stolen and than auctioning off on E-Bay…What do you think?

For the Lance look-a-like I’m guessing it’s actually not that much - $600-700 - since it’s really only black with logos. But the wheels are another story.

I think it would be worth the money to see how many times people call the cops on you at a race…
