The order was placed today. Cervelo S2. Should be here mid-February (about the same time the snow should have completely melted away).
Can’t beat this kind of review…
We remember the first time we ever rode a set of Zipp wheels. They were 404 tubulars, and after a 10-second big chainring acceleration our lives changed forever: We unequivocally knew that we could never ever do another serious ride again without wheels like those…
Our (Zipp) 404 revelation took place 4 or 5 years ago. We experiment with new equipment constantly and in the time since we’ve never had a similarly powerful experience. That is, until we had our first ride on the Cervélo S2. Simply put, it’s the bicycle equivalent of Zipp‘s divine wheels, and in many ways serves as Cervélo‘s ultimate aero road racing frame. Why? Because it offers weight advantages no less amazing than its aerodynamics. Despite the sizeable surface area of its sculpted tubes, the S2 weighs little more than the Cervélo R3 — the wonderbike preferred by Fabian Cancellara and Stuart O’Grady for the cobbled northern classics like Paris-Roubaix, but chosen by Carlos Sastre for the mountain stages of the Grand Tours.
Can’t wait.
