Cervelo - Soloist carbon... errr what water bottle cage
Discussion
I have a Cervelo Soloist Team
In triathlon mode (seat forward and aero bars on): Profile Design Aerodrink (and cages removed)
In road mode: Currently normal alloy ones, but just getting a pair of Arundel Tridents. Very well made, 30g each, and no external advertising.

Out of curiousity how much do you think the frame weighs - already made the order but would like to know how it benhmarks...
Thanks CAB
Roughly speaking... Thanks CAB
Soloist Team: 1.4Kg
Soloist Carbon: 1.2Kg
Soloist Carbon SL: 1Kg
Give or take a few 10s of grams for bigger/smaller frame sizes.
You can fairly easily build any of the above frames to the UCI minimum of 6.8Kg.
Zipp CSC's as a mile cruncher.

They feel lighter on the road than they are, but even at 1480g they're quite good.A real tough wheelset that rides real silky that most of all does not feel dead

believe the R3 is 0.9kg but you obviously sacrifice the aero element...

thanks again
can i ask how you have spec'ed yours out
In short:can i ask how you have spec'ed yours out
Durace 7800 Ace groupset, incl brakes and wheels
Conti 4000 S tyres
Easton EC90 SL fork
Easton stem, road bars (and aerobars)
Look Keo Sprint pedals
I haven't weighed it - I need to reduce my own weight first!

Stick a 50cm Scott Addict LTD frame on the scales, 760g was the one i recently weighed with uncut seat post
The Addict is more of a comparison with the R3. The Soloist range is a dual purpose road/tri bike, and is properly aero. All very nice bikes though If you want "light", get a Storck Fascenario. Under 5kg all in!

would like to get the bike down to a sensible 6.8kg - will get it on a set of scales when it arrives and see what work is required. Suspect competition wheels will be the way to go!
edited: if it is too heavy i may have to delete the bottle cages ;-)
