Hi guys,
I am riding my cervelo r3-sl 6870.
I wanna upgrage my bike but............. I can't make a desicion....
I tried the S-works tarmac, supersix evo hi-mod 2016 and Cervelo S5.
For s-works tarmac, It is a great bike.
um... its really stable and stiff.
I read a lot of reviews of s-works tarma.
I thought its an amazing bike...
However, I couldnt feel any special of this bike
I like the matt black one.
I prefer ss hm because its very smooth and light. I like the feeling of sshm.
However, I dont like the paint job....
Cervelo S5 is one of my dream bikes.
Its really aero when I was going down, Its super smooth, stable and fast.
Also, the price of S5 ultegra is the same price as s-works tarmac....
For canyon, I only did the research from roadbike.de
http://www.roadbike.de/rennraeder/test- ... 3348.9.htm The data and review of Canyon Ultimate.
http://www.roadbike.de/best-of-test-ksg ... 5642.9.htm Thats the rank of KSG from roadbike.de
The review of KSG (roadbike.de) is quite high which is similar as the Cervelo Rca 2015.
I didnt have a test ride for Canyon ultimate but I like the look of it.
The last choice.... get a bora ultra 50 tubular?... (mine is racing zero nite)
However, its on sale now. If campy will have a new bora after few months................
I am a big fan of cannondale.
The paint job of sshm 2013-15 were awesome.
For the ss hm, I dont like the painjob.... (2016) I am very disappointed...
S-works is fine but the price of tarmac can get the whole bike of Cervelo S5 ultegra.
After testing those bikes, I think I prefer the bike which is similar to r3...
I am bit confused....at this moment
Should I go get a S-works,Cervelo s5,Canyon ultimate or Bora ultra?
Can anyone give suggestion please?
Final decision - Tarmac? S5? ss hm? Canyon ultimate? or wheelset?

I voted for the Cervelo. Only because you said its one of your dream bikes. With those words that's the one you sounded most enthusiastic about so you gotta follow those instincts...Haven't ridden any of them btw...

I voted for the S5....only because I have one and love it It goes better with some deep wheels though. Those Cosmics just don't do it justice.
