Cervelo anyone?

[parity]

So the Cervelos are specifically racing bikes then? How are they for longer rides (100-200km)? I ride a lot and I do want a bike that will be good for a try but I also like to ride logner distances as well. (I guess I can keep riding my Giant for long distances if the cervelo is too 'aggressive' for longer ride comfort.)

I'm looking in the $3000-$4000 range (max).

The RS has a more relaxed geometry.

You might want to test ride it and compare it with the R3 or Soloist.

That one sounds like it would be great for DH, who has back issues. I have started up a second post looking for recommendations for him

I am going to check out the Cervelos today, esp. the P2C. ( The Soloist Team is aluminum isn't it?) The RS is too pricey for me I think.

This LBS also carries Orbea which are so pretty I might try them as well.

KG: P2C is an aero-tube TT bike, the geometry is probably a bit different than "regular" road geometry. It looks like it also comes stock with aero/base bar set up...

Looks like they have six road models though -- RS, R3, R3-SL, Soloist Team (which is Alu), Soloist Carbon, and SLC-SL.
