E54s Quiver (Cervélo T1 completed)

In the meantime.. below a nice impression from the Adriatic sea at 6:30am

The great thing about early rides is that even if the route is shit and/or unspectacular, its always the time of the day itself which makes every ride special because its so astonishingly quiet 😌

Bike is now perfectly dialed in and it feels very well tailored, especially when going some aero KMs using the hoods like barends.

And it feels so much nicer than the allez sprint (where I had to go 90mm stem to achieve this fit!) in so many ways:

• direct mount brakes so much more precise than single mount
  
• 50mm roval wheels so much smoother (and lighter) than the 62mm reynolds
  
• 11 vs 10 speed
  
• Inner cables run so much smoother than with the allez sprint (which also had the insanely stupid routing around the BB shell)
  
• luckily zero setback SP came directly with the bike from previous owner
  
• Much more flexy in total (frame plus seatpost i guess)
  
• Aesthetically much more balanced imho, plus no bent TT
  
• Much cheaper :-D
  
  

I still cant believe that I saved a couple hundreds comparing the sale price of the allez sprint (split) with the purchase price for this thing herrr

Oh and also switched to tubolitos 😮‍💨 weight is front wheel including tire, tube, QR (air lol)
