Nice!
Could you take a close-up of the paint in the logo? official photos seem to indicate it's metallic gold, but I've seen so few of these in real light!

Nice!
It can look gold in certain light, but I'd probably characterize it more as dark bronze than gold. Kinda hard to capture in photos.inertianinja wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 1:20 pmCould you take a close-up of the paint in the logo? official photos seem to indicate it's metallic gold, but I've seen so few of these in real light!
The bike is an all-arounder IMHO. Decent system weight, aero profile, stiffness-compliance-tire clearance, as well as being a solid value for the frame and better maintinece and cockpit choices. The Geometry is spot on for how I like my bike fit in my size....54. This is comparable to an SL7, Addict RC, Dogma F and so on all for a fraction of the cost. Having a threaded BB and also the ability to use standard Stem/Bar combos but with a clean semi internal cable routing is brilliant.twoangstroms wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 1:37 amSo, for those who have had the chance to ride a new Soloist: What would you say would be the ideal role for this bike?

I can't see why it would be a problem. Any stem that gets the cables to the front of the steerer (inside or outside the stem) should work, and you shouldn't need any special spacer as the fist spacer is flush with the top tube.

It would be interesting how it compares aerowise to the 2023 Giant propel as that seems to be aimed in all rounder aero bike space - kind of where the original Scott Foil sat.skinnybex wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 6:04 amThe bike is an all-arounder IMHO.

I was curious about this too and asked Cervelo supportbananastand wrote: ↑Tue Sep 13, 2022 9:40 pmCould I use the R5 7mm spacer and an ST31 or similar stem to get a really nice, slammed, integrated front end on the Soloist? I hope so. That would be rad.
