Tires-Vittoria Open Corsa CX summer, Open Pave winter. Both superseded by a new tire, which is great, but these are now in Rubino $$ territory. Great tires til they get thin. Use wide wheels, run 25's at 85 psi and they are awesome, almost tubular feeling. Not quite, but almost.

On any aero bike, but particularly a tt bike, saddle is critical. The Specialized Power/Adamo/Dash type short nosed saddles seem to work for a lot of folks. I'm not saddle critical, but I love my power on anything up to a century. Its a sort of one position saddle, but it disappears. Use a Romin Evo on the c'dale, also like smp and fizik arione on that bike.

Cervelo S3 is a pretty good bike for all around aero/road use, but it sounds like Jeff might prefer the S5 for his intended duty.
