ALL cable routing in pre 2016 Cervelo S5 is MASSIVE pita, but DEFINITELY go for electric. As @amey said - Ultegra 6870 is huge VFM at the moment and having had a few 6870 and 9070 groups the difference is purely aesthetic and g’s.
Oh, and don’t be trying to put anything larger than a 23mm tyre on it unless you want to strip both the bridges in minutes.
I’d advise health insurance if you intend to ride it longer than 50km as it’ll turn your spine, neck, hands elbows and shoulders to dust.
Other than that it’ll go like shit off a shovel on the flat in a straight line with little or no wind up.
