Have we done the new [url= http://road.cc/content/tech-news/173268-cervelo-c5-c3-c-series-unveiled-disc-brakes-endurance-bike-850g-frame ]Cervelo C Series yet?[/url] Yeah I know it's a road bike, but it's got disc brakes and takes big tyres. And it looks so pretty! but the price, ouch!

I have to say, that doesn't do it for me at all. I like a gravel bike and a road bike as much as the next man but for me that's a bit of a disappointment.

Ooooh that looks lovely. Silly expensive mind, but I really like the lines on that with the discs.

Dunno, but then I never liked the look of Cervelo bikes anyway, felt they were trying to evoke an image of an old brand whilst actually being a new company, a bit like Rapha.

And maybe its a familiarity thing, but the flat mount disks aren't doing it for me either. They just look like odd shaped appendages rather than being separate calipers.

I won't buy one, but only because I have my CXer..

That's a slacker uglier Defy Advanced SL. No thanks. The Seat stays ruin it more than the head angle.

Meh. Sure they'll sell loads.

That's a great geometry, imo.

It seems to only take up to 28mm tyres(according to BikeRadar review) and costs £7.5K!
Doesn't meet my needs so not for me.

Always found Cervelo a bit overhyped/overpriced but yeah, that geo is spot on. Hopefully more manufacturers will start producing 50-60mm offset forks for all-road type bikes.

28mm tyres ain't big, my CAAD 10 swallows that size easily. The headtube is monumental, must be designed for the rotund/inflexible market.

Says 32mm in the text surely? Seems to be going after the Gt grade. I've got one (grade carbon Ultegra) on long term loan and it is brutally ugly but very very handy. The Cervelo is only slightly less ugly any doesn't seem to do much more for your extra grand or so...
