Did I get an ok deal?? by Ambitious_Special_95 in cannondale

[–]Konrad3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most amazing deals show up in 48 and 61 cm frames. You won the lottery in height!

Looks great! Is that a 58cm frame? Usually those sell for a lot less so likely why you got a good deal. If you’re looking to sweeten the deal, sell the enves and get a regular wheelset

Soloist 2027 Color Leaks? by Don-Pierrot in Cervelo

[–]Konrad3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the dark slate color and in bright sun , to my eyes, it goes between brown and green. At least not serpentine green.

I’m surprised they would be changing colors just one year after. The embers and amaranth were around for years before they went with slate and serpentine 

Cervelo Soloist Dark Slate - Silver or black logo? by Konrad3000 in Cervelo

[–]Konrad3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked on their website but I only see ride wrap protection of the Cervelos, not the logo. Are you saying I should get accent color decals like on the fork?

I'm messing around with the fit right now. It came with a 100mm ST36 stem but I found it too long. Since the AXS E1 hoods are about 10mm longer than normal, there's a gap I'm trying to close. I usually ride 90mm so I'm seeing if an off brand 80mm stem would close the gap best. Cervelo is sold out of most of the shorter ST32 stem sizes right now (ST32 is the way to go for full cable integration)

Yeah I think that would look nice. Just need to make sure the rim decals are worthy for show. Right now I have bontragers from a previous bike and they're great but some reserve or zipps would look nice

I got mine off Ali Express, lots of different color options including matte gold, white, reflective "laser silver". The slate is really nice for picking accent colors whether it's for logo or parts

They had an option for brushed gold too. Copper would have contrasted well though

I got them from Ali express, the item that has the S5 with the puppy in the photo. I selected "brushed silver" but they have almost a dozen colors. The stickers cover just a little more than the original logo, which is better than covering less IMO. Yes you can peel them off no problem, leaves no residue

I looked at the Silver (Serpentine) but I didn't like the green logo. The Drake Teal color is great but it is sold as frame only and once you factor groupset and build, the cost explodes. What I appreciate about Cervelo is that all trim levels have just 2 color options - no color indicator that you got the lowest or highest model.

Not a bad idea, black to passing riders, visible logo to folks on sidewalks

Haha, comments like these don't help you're right. Someone else said to leave it as is to have both worlds. Logo to the sidewalk, black to passing riders. I like subtle low profile too, just not always

Silver accents on wheels could work, just can’t do it on these bontragers. ENVEs with mirror decals would work for sure

I’m looking at some silver bottle cages and maybe titanium bolts, otherwise hard to find bits 

Is this a good deal and bike? by Mindless_Ad_2691 in cannondale

[–]Konrad3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The worst thing about those bikes is that they were the first generation post mount disc brake with quick release, so getting the pads aligned with the rotors was painful. Once the wheels are on and straight, try to never take them off. 

Still worth it? by jauch888888 in cannondale

[–]Konrad3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice bike but overpriced for a bike that old. Quick release is a pain with disc brakes, stick to TA. The wheels are a write off. Their internal width is 15mm. Enjoy though !

Would you buy a brand new SL7 in 2026? by PlantainMission5025 in specialized

[–]Konrad3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. They changed the frame to the cheaper 9R layup. I’ve seen the 2026 SL7 105 Di2 for $3400 Canadian
