WEIGHT a minute: I appreciate all of Cervelo’s engineering over the years (hey, I was about the first in my state, OH, to be on one back in 2003 and still ride an aluminum P3-SL for TTs),
Hi rroof, Cervelo’s mission is to help our athletes go faster. Makes total sense you’ve been a long time Cervelo owner.
but there is a $2,100 difference between an S5 and an S5 with your companies founder’s initials on it. So, a little over $10/g (or $4,000+/lb). Damn.
For the objectively fastest road bike ever made, sure.
At the same time, for Cheap-Ass Engineers™ like Tom A., we made sure that even the less expensive S5s have the same fantastic aerodynamic performance. So weight is the only difference, and choosing to upgrade to the lighter version is a completely free choice. The S5 VWD sure hits all the go-fast points though!
Cheers,
