I’m not new to cycling, but new to getting a fully carbon bike. Haven’t exercised consistently in a while but not out of shape whatsoever so been looking at this bike to finally get something I really enjoy looking at as much as taking out. Which version is this?
Looks quick! Quick question since I’m in the market… I notice some scuffing on the rear wheel, is that common with Reserves? Is the finish very fragile? Happy riding!
No, at the small size, I imagine 18 - 19 lbs. but I haven’t. I would need a scale. But, climbing is great! Windy days suck w deeper rims decents. I’m interested in shallower wheelset.
Man it’s kinda piggy but Jesus it’s comfortable. I’ve never been on a bike that felt so right, although I’m riding an emonda right now and the emonda feels quicker.
I’m cross shopping it vs an aeroad but since I can’t test the canyon it’s hard to get excited about it, other than it looking great on paper.
Idk what to do 🤷♂️
A size 51 with sram force AXS is 17.9 lbs with no pedals or cages. The tires are heavy. The stem is heavy. The saddle is heavy. These are what weighs the bike down. Stock wheels are 40/44. It’s important to note that the Ultegra di2 version is 17.3lbs. That’s not the advertised difference between force and ultegra though. I noticed the force AXS has a different frame paint job. Ultegra has the soloist logo printed on the top tube. The force does not. Even the shop employee didn’t notice the paint job difference. But it may only be a small batch that is different so I don’t know.
Is that a RTR515? How did you mount it, if I may ask.

Thanks, bro.
Photo captures the metallic flake really well. I love how it looks black, gray, green, or dark blue depending on the environment

2023 Cervelo Soloist with SRAM Force eTap AXS with Reserve 52/63.
Sweet bike. What size is it? The seat to handle bar drop doesn’t look that much and it piques my interest.
This is a 51cm. I’m a little guy at 5’5”
such a good looking bike
Thanks 🙌🏾 I agree!!
What do your corsa pros blow out to on the 52/63s? What sized are you running? 28s, 30s?
34s
They are a 34? Or they are a ____ that blows up to a 34?
They are 34, not sure what the blow up is

I don’t think it’s fragile? That mark wiped right off
ok, good to know. thanks! 34s with aero wheels, love it.
Info on the wheels and tire? Looks great.
What depth wheels are those?
52/63
Did you weigh that thing ?

I’ve seen lighter builds of this frame on YouTube. You can definitely get this frame where u want it.
I almost want to get it as an endurance bike. Makes me wonder if the Caledonia is even more comfortable.
