Strengths: Climbs excellent, very fast on flats and downhills. Superlite weightWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Superlite, with Carbon Record and Zipp 404 weights in at bit over 14lbs. It is almost as fast as my P3 and climbs a lot better. I do not even notice the stiffness as it is about the same as the P3. It feels much faster and fluid than my Scott CR1. It is by far the best bike I've ever ridden and probably the last I will buy.

Weaknesses: Finish could be betterBottom Line: This is a stiff, fast, super nimble ride. Some people are concerned about the finish. I will admit that the finish could be better, but it has nothing to do with the way this bike rides -- so it is not a major concern for me.

Strengths: Fast and funWeaknesses: BreakageBottom Line: I was loving it, fast, stiff, responsive, so great. Then, after 450 miles, on one of the few outside rides I was able to get in during Seattle's spring, it broke on a fast downhill - the chain stay snapped 3/4 the way around. Thank god no crash but what the...? The worst part is I'm the second owner so the warranty is null.
Someone somewhere on this website wrote, "Only buy it if you can afford to buy it again..." Should have heeded that advice.

Strengths: Very light, 58cm frame with dura ace comes in at 15.5lbs total
Very stiff
Very responsiveWeaknesses: No Chain guard near BB,
Very expensive
Sometimes too stiff, you feel everything on the road
I got chain suck recently and it got stuck between BB and the crank rings. I managed to release the chain however it made an ugly mess of the finish around the BB. Needless to say I left a very sick feeling in my stomach when I assessed the damage. Cervelo should put some sort of guard along the crank side BB area for these occurences.
Bottom Line: Solid bike with good build quality, the finish is pretty good (not sure what fit and finish issues people are referring to in previous posts). I've got several high end bikes and I won't say the that there are any quality issues with the SLC. Very stiff, so much so that I sometimes get out of the saddle for speed bumps (not with my Seven).
Price Paid:
$4200.00

Strengths: Power delivery, snappy, great handling stiff as hellWeaknesses: You will be giving up some comfort but it can be setup to be above averageBottom Line: I have been riding the SL with the 7801 Durace tubeless rims with Hutchinson tubeless tires, even though the frame is stiffer than my Soloist Carbon the explosion at the crank is incredible this bike flies and with these wheels the bad is a B- this setup really makes a difference because the bike is very snappy and fast as hell. Also I think that a comfortable saddle mine is a Fizik Alliante carbon rails makes a huge difference. If you want to fly and can give up a little comfort this is the way to go.TD
