How is the balance on that bike? Front heavy or not that bad?

24.5lbs. Feels balanced and very stiff frame wise. Broke the loaded stem while tightening it, so went down to a 80mm stem and it definitely feels weird right now. Also got a new syncros balacara saddle, with the integrated fenders for the saddle and fork.

It. Is. Very. Fun.

The Frame of the Cervélo R3/Disk is a weapon. It accelerates hard, Climbs like a Billie Goat, descends without fanfare, and carves through the tightest corners with ease. Set the bike into the apex and relax on the bars, and she will take the arc true, without a thought every time. I feel more bumps through the frame on the R3, then with my TREK, but it is not harsh by any means.

I actually look forward to hills with this bike. I was comfortable on this bike just minutes into the first ride. I only had to adjust the seat once. I have a wide shoulders/chest and need wider bars than stock, otherwise, everything just fell into place. They did everything right on this bike. She weighs 17.3 with carbon water bottle cages and pedals

Compared to my TREK Domane The Frame of toy 2018 Cerv lo R3 Disk is a weapon. It accelerates hard Climbs like a Billie Goat descends without fanfare and carves through the tightest corners with ease.

They did everything right on this bike. At first I used flat Mnt. Bike pedals that I have on both my FELT In the Philippines and my INTENSE Mnt. Bike. In the USA but I have decided to go with SPD Mnt. bike shoes with clip-less pedals trading out the pedals on my FELT Mnt. bike. Using proper pedals will up my game even more.

"Aurora" my Trek Domane. I call her this because she's faster than the SR71 and probably has more technology than the plane which replaced the SR71. Lol

My TREK Domane as of December 2016.

This might be the most nonsensical build in this thread, but it's amazing and I think I want it more than anything else in here.

Quick wash and lube... really need to trim the steerer though. The more I ride this bike, the more I like it.

Had a very similar Domane in the shop on Sunday, definitely drool worthy. One of those bikes I'd really love to try someday.

This cannot have been on purpose but that power metre really matches the splotch of red at the seat cluster perfectly.

One of the cool things about the Pioneer power meters is that you can get that battery cover in just about any color you would want. It came with red and grey and the red fit perfectly.
