I just picked up a new road bike Cervelo R3 2012 Full Rival build Brand New…$2000 all in.
Nice bike! The R3 is amazing. Enjoy!
Thanks… Maiden ride today…
I went out for 60K ride today on this new machine…AWESOME RIDE!!! WOW!
life cant get much better
Your seats too high…
at least I am on the the big chain ring…
.
Great looking bike and wheels. I miss the comfort of the Rd as I switched to an S-series.
You need to slam your stem.
Wish you would have looked in the classifieds for mine I have for sale. Dura-Ace and Rotor. Nice ride though!
What size is it?
Great bike. I have a the 2010 version - all white and black.
You might want to check on the safety limits for the spacing and number of spacers under the stem for that fork and steerer. You are possibly over that limit!!
Hard to tell from the second picture as I am not sure the bike is level, but your saddle does seem to be aggressively sloped forward. This is often a sign that something is amiss in your fit. Generally speaking, assuming all other things are lined up, your saddle should be close to level.
Seat is level… I picked up the bike on Saturday and took it for a ride the next day. I set seat height and made minor adjustments… Have fit booked .
Thanks for input…

Is it just me, or does it look a size too small…
An up-angled stem should allow the OP to ditch some spacers. I never understood the hate for a stem with a little rise to it, I know the look of a flat stem is better, but not with a spacer stack underneath.
Years ago I remember Gerard saying one minor thing that annoyed him about Landis’ DQ from the TdF (in addition to the major thing) was that Landis was a guy who rode with a stem with some rise to it, I think he had some fit issues because of his hip problems. Gerard thought if people saw a guy win the TdF on a stem like that they might be more inclined to use something similar and eliminate some spacer stack.
Congrats on the bike. Curious how tall you are. I’m guessing that’s a 61??
I’m 6’2 and that’s a 58… I love it!!

Love my R3, pics in my profile.
