What bike/bikes are you riding?

[Barracuda]

There are none in Australia, you might want to take a trip to Malaysia or Hong Kong for one though.

Can we expect them anytime soon ????

$$ and best way to source one ??

Is that a soup thermos in the cage on the seat tube? Not a bad idea actually.

Current main ride is this (although I swapped out the fragile Reynolds for some sweet and robust Fulcrum Racing 1s given the *** roads round here).

It's an awesome ride - stiff but smooth, rock-solid downhill and light enough to climb seriously fast

 

[Notso Swift]

Sweet piece of kit

Fragile Reynolds? I train on Alu Solitude and Race on Carbon Assault Tubulars and have broken 2 spokes on the Solitudes (one being when I ran over a Tek screw that went in the rim hole and impacted directly on the nipple - freak accident) and 1 on the Assults in 20k Witht he exception of the Tek screw I have always been able to ride back, carefully of course
Always been able to replace the spokes and true myself. Previously I had a few brands that when a spoke went the wheel lost so much shape the rim was toast.
I am a 90+kg Sprinter and we ride on Australian Country roads, enough said about road quality...

Sorry, should have qualified. "Fragile" when compared with the bomb-proof Fulcrum's. Nasty Aussie roads for me too. Apparently bitumen comes in three varieties here: pot-holed, cratered and broken

I'm riding a blue 2009 Blue RC8 with SRAM Force. It's a pretty dang good bike and cheaper than some of the bigger companies' equivalents. For my TT bike, I have a Garneau TT8.8 that I bought from Cesar Grajales from when he was on Jittery Joe's.

There isn't a supplier for their bikes in Australia. Unless you go overseas and contact a supplier.

Love em .... Been "riding" Neil Pryde gear on the water for years ..... hope they go as good as they look ....... Love their windsurfing gear .. would love to get on a road bike .....

Know of any distributers in OZ ????

As Cliveds said in his reply you can order them directly into Aus - there is Australian pricing on the website, which includes shipping etc.

I've been told that there will also be dealers in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne in the very near future. Just call the Australian contact number on the website, or drop them a note if you want any more info. There is also an Australian rep/agent based in Melbourne. There are no distributors because they ship directly from the factory to the dealer/customer.

You definitely don't need to plan a trip to the Far East to get one ..... unless you're looking for an excuse to get on a plane and take a trip

Hope that helps.

I was looking for P3 and bought S1 last week, just today i finished with assembly. So i sold (i think so) my carbon Carrera Nitro and return to aluminium bikes.

On the kitchen table (while Mrs. is away) just after cranks were attached.

[/url][/IMG]

Only tool i was needed was that strange crown race tool, so i visit LBS they handle it with solid steel 5 kg pipe instead expensive one.

I did not put top cap yet on headset cos alu insert with starnut are still bonding.

[/url][/IMG]

[/url][/IMG]

I am just concerned with cables little bit too short, but i will handle it later if needed. Nice frameset for 580 euro 04/2010 new unused, only my custom idiots put me some extra money, cos there is 5% custom fee on bike parts but 0% on complete bikes

 

[oldborn]

[/url][/IMG]

Chorus rear and front mech, i left cables without end cap for couple a days.

[/url][/IMG]

[/url][/IMG]

I also put in line adjuster on front mech Bustednuckle, i can not live without them.
It is only 3rd Cervelo in Croatia, as far i know (one P3, one S2 and mine). They are less known brand guys here.

Is the S1 an alu bike? very nice frame

Yes Dude and they do not produce S1 anymore, so they let to your countrymen Merckx and Cannondale "alu zillion bikes per year" industry.
I just can not be clever why they do not produced alu S1?
Thanks, it is really nice frame indeed, nice paint job, all small parts in place, control paper was in it with signature of worker, really nice. 3T Funda fork is carbon and it comes with such a small instruction letters, so there is some mess with fork but great frameset for money. Last year they was for 1200 MSRP euro, and 800 euro dealer price.

 

[richwagmn]

That's some outstanding craftsmanship.

Cervelo S1 IS available in the UK in 2011. It is the same frame/fork as 2010 model. Price approx £800-900. I believe that this is the last year that Cervelo is selling this model. Unless they are replacing it with a new model next year, they are making a SERIOUS error. I know 3 people who have bought these frames since Jan 2011 and it became clear that this would be the last year that they would be available. These are guys who currently ride carbon (one of them Cervelo carbon) but who always wanted an S1.
