I know one person with an s5 (it's the 2015 one and he's had it less than 6 months) and he's very ambivalent about it. Fast on the flat but hard to love – despite what he paid for it.

I thought theyd fixed the S5. Making it more S3 like to my eye. Shame.
When I Went with an aero road bike I figured I could live with a bit more weight, and a bit less comfort. But I can't live with any lack of confidence in handling. To my mind, I work on the way up, the bike works on the way down.

I'd recommend that if anyone ever has a chance to try a Serotta CSi in their size they should do so - it's the reverse of this, in that it takes a couple of hundred meters to fall in love with it.
Bounds down the road, turns in to a corner with huge enthusiasm, add hyperbole here.
It's the one bike I own that I can't see ever selling.
My Talbots generally reflect my latest/current thoughts on how to make a particular type of bike, but that's always going to evolve.

Dammit
Older S5 is supposed to ride like shit too. Fast in a straight line or a roll down test, but rubbish for everything else. Do not want.
