Decided to race it instead. :twisted:

Fantastic Top of the Line 2008 Cervelo R3 SL. Google and read the reviews! This model has won Paris Roubaix twice and the Tour De France..it has even won a few races locally :) Never crashed in excellent condition. Full Shimano 7900 with 6month wear, new chain. Does not come with pedals or seat. Bike complete weights ~14.5 lbs

Would be willing to sell for $2400 with full 2012 Ultegra compact build and Bontrager wheels and parts.

Hey Kevin,
I have a buddy who is possibly interested in your bike. He is trying to figure out if it will fit. How tall are you? He is 6' even.
Thanks.
Peter

Hi Peter,

Fit is always 'unique'. I don't pretend to be an expert. Not too mention sellers tend to sell ;). best thing would likely be to come try it out or contact a bike fitter. For this kind of dollars your friend should get something that fits.

Regards,

Kevin

Ok then it is a gamble. All I can say is it fits smaller than 2011-12 geometry. I at 6'3" have the seat post as high as it goes and currently run at 120 stem but I am moving to a 130 if I don't sell it.

I am close to 6'6" and I would ride a 60 - 61 so at 6 ft i would think your frined would have a stretch to ride the bike unless the stem and seat were shortended and jamed forward which would then affect stroke angles for knees etc////

Peter,

I'm 6 feet, with "average" leg length, and ride a 56. So this may be big for your friend. With no possibility of a test ride, I'd be wary.
