I’m assuming this is the new carbon Soloist.
I had not seen anything about a carbon soloist - is this in production?
Whoa. No shit… Where did you get the phot? How recent?
Holy chainstays…
I’m lovin that…GERARD WHATS GOING ON !!!
Found the pic at www.grahamwatson.com, under the Giro d’Italia

Yeah it does look different than normal. Compare rear triangle to the current Soloist, especially where it meets the seattube. This has serious sweetness potential.
Graham Watson is the BEST professional cycling photographer out there. That’s how I “watch” the big races in Europe - Tour de France included. Follow the news online during the day if I can, then go to Graham’s site the next day or even very late in the day, on the day-of, and look at the still shots of the action. He always manages to get the best shots of the key action in the race.

P.S. I don’t usually swoon or drool, over these new bikes( “It’s not about the bike” !!), but I must say that this prototype Cervelo looks very nice. Nice work Gerard and Phil!
Pretty neat–A mouthpiece-mounted hydration system.
Its a good thing that there is a Carbon version now. Saving those few grams allows the pro to carry 5 bottles (or 6?). Or is that a new technique to pick up extra weight/speed on a long downhill. I think the helmut mounted bottles (remember the beer can thing from university) would be more comfortable than the mouth mount.
I think I’m in deep shit for spilling the beans on this. It might still be some version of a “secret”.
if it’s any consolation, we all appreciated it very much:) my team soloist is due in sometime in the next few weeks, so i was happy to hear about a carbon version so i might upgrade after the 2nd generation comes out…
if it weren’t for you…who’d we hear these things from?
I dont understand why a manufacturer would be angry about someone “spilling the beans.” I think it gets people more excited for the product than if it was simply introduced by the company. It builds suspense and speculation, then we see pics like this and get even more excited. Whats that saying about no such thing as bad publicity??
How can you have “spilled the beans” when there are PICS??
Seriously, what did you do? You acted as surprised as the rest of us. Unless you are Jason or that French guy, you spilled nothing.
Anybody have an idea what black thing seems to be hanging down from the bike’s left chainstay?
