Within a few hours from now I'm of to buy me a new bike: cervelo soloist team!
I've read some good reviews about it and the dealer here convinced me to buy this one. Mainly cause of the double use that is possible: TT-geometry and road geometry.
Does anyone on the forum have this bike, or know of friends that have one? What do you think about it: good choice or not that good? I can still chicken out of this one[:o]?

What is the big difference (except price) between the alu and the carbon frame??
Just bought the soloist team for 1700€, which is about 1350£. Took the campy veloce 2x10, with fulcum wheels.
Could you be a little more specific bout how you convert the frame to be the two different geometries??
Many thanks
You can convert the bike's geometry from road to TT geometry by switching the seatpost, which brings you from 76 to 73°. Put some aerobars on it and you have a part-time TT-bike. (Hope I explained it well here, I'm not a salesman [:)])
I'm expecting my Cervelo within 2 weeks from now. Can't wait....[8D]
But finally; I got my Cervelo Soloïst Team!!!!![:D][8D][image]http://forum.220magazine.com/micons/m6.gif[/image]
I could pick it up exactly on my 30th birthday, so very, very, ..... pleased.
Took it for a 60k spin yesterday evening. Got somesore shoulders today due to the changed position ( actually had it fitted perfectly for me, au contraire of my previous bike [&:]).
GREAT BIKE, LOVE IT, DON'T TOUCH IT!!!![;)][:D]
Also did a brick session of 20k bike and 5k run.
Beat my PB with 1 minute and 40 seconds, thanks to a great bike (15 seconds off), but mainly due a fanstastic run off the bike (almost a minute and a half off in 5k).
Conclusion: I truly recommend the bike to all.
Happy greetings,
Benny.
Really pleased with the bike, recommend it!!
