			Which Cervelo is that? Does it have SRAM?  I looked at a Cervelo S3 today at my LBS. It's definitely a work of art. The bottom bracket is absolutely massive. The one I looked at had SRAM on it, which I think are the most innovative components in cycling.

			Riding a Canadian bike?  What will the neighbors think? Cool, looks like a nice ride.

Its the Soloist Team.  The team frame is aluminum as opposed to carbon fiber.  Front and rear derailleurs, shifters, and casette are Ultegra while the crank and bottom bracket are FSA and brakes are Cervelo's.

 The Cervelo I saw today had to weigh no more than 15 lbs. The bottom bracket was the size of a grapefruit. I bet a 300 lb USC lineman couldn't flex that bike.

			Agreed.  There's not a single bad thing I've heard about Cervelo - other than they're expensive as hell.   Ultegra is a very good component line - it's what I'm currently using on my bike and my wife's bike (aside from the occasional Most piece). Very smooth and crisp. Plenty good enough for a hack like me.
