Selling my beloved Crevelo as I upgraded to a gravel e-bike and now do not find myself taking this out any more. Fantastic bike that's fast and climbs well. Ridden around the Chiltern Hills mostly and the Panaracer Gravel King tyres are great for the English roads in all weather and the odd tow path. Dura Ace group set is silky and has a high range of gears. Wheels are Italian carbon 30mm with a slight chip on the front wheel that does not affect braking or structure (See photo for cosmetic impact)
The R5 VWD is one of the lightest frames in the world. Lighter than the R3 Team, its impressive test scores are achieved because Cervélo maintains stiffness and strength standards for even its lightest frames. The R5 achieves this by using the technologies developed at the Project California, and mates then with highly complex lay-ups to further save weight and add stiffness.
