I have become sort of obsessed with my new ( to me ) S1. As said before I wanted one since seeing the "Overcoming" documentary about team CSC at the 2004 Tour. Bought a Black and blue frameset off here 7 or 8 years ago , then rode a mates and absolutely could not get on with it after my horrendous crash previous to buying. It was just too stiff where I was recuperating after breaking elbows , wrists and both hands . This problem also caused me to sell my beloved 2007 c'dale system six.
Ironically the bike that tried to kill me was still fine. Anyway time is clearly a great healer as I decided to try again , and I fucking love it , even for a fatty like me it flatters and makes every ride feel special and I am again going further and further and loosing the lockdown "carbohydrate store" I have gained. I know they can be a bit marmite , but I think all Cervelo look great and just special amongst everything else.
