Classifieds -- NEW 2008 Cervelo Soloist Carbon Road Bike
Description Description: "This year Team CSC have benefitted from arguably the most sophisticated bike in the pro peloton, the Cervelo Soloist Carbon" - CycleSport The 2008 Soloist Carbon has the reputation of being the ultimate pro bike; this is not surprising, given its long list of victories. But, it may be even more useful at the other end of the spectrum, giving an "unfair" advantage to those who just need a couple percent more to hang on to their weekend rides. We know, because both Phil and Gerard are squarely in that category, and both ride Soloist Carbons. While most of the aerodynamic drag is caused by the rider, around 25% is the bike, and the great thing about bike aerodynamics is that it is "always on", no matter your riding position or fatigue level. And, thanks to the latest Cervelo lay-up schedules, there is no weight or efficiency penalty for all this aero advantage. Model highlights: No compromise - Extremely aerodynamic yet among the lightest frames in the ProTour and with excellent stiffness and compliance properties. New profile downtube - Our work improving the downtube and headtube on the P3 Carbon has directly benefited the Soloist Carbon. Horizontal teardrop-shaped sloping toptube - Since the toptube has a slope to it, the aerodynamics can be improved by giving it the proper airfoil cross section in the direction of the airflow. Stealth aero headtube - While the headtube may look round at the front, this is an optical illusion. The headtube is ultra thin and only 1mm wider than the P3 Carbon headtube. Although the leading edge is kept straight, the sides neck down in the center section, resulting in a very good airfoil shape around the headtube in combination with a classic side profile. Oversized bottom bracket area - The increased volume of the bottom bracket area provides even greater BB stiffness, and the smooth contours of the BB volume help both the BB stiffness and BB strength as the fibers have a much more continuous path to transfer the loads better.
