Long story, but I actually ended up putting the Cervelo stem on this bike, and now it is lined up for sale to a third party. I think the solution that I came up with would have probably worked, but I just ended up not deciding to keep this bike, after a lot of back and forth.
Ups, not good to hear. May I please know your reasons? Disappointed with ride quality? Technical issues?
Actually I am having 2nd thoughts waiting for the frameset as I have found out couple of things I didnât expect:(
I wanted an endurance frame for more comfortable geometry but realised Caledonia 5 is as aggresive as Cannondale Supersix (Cervelo somehow counts 7mm headset spacer to the stack number) plus its stem is -9 degrees.
I canât put there FSA ACR stem because it is sold out everywhere.
I canât fit 73 degree seat tube with 25mm setback seatpost on top of that - combined with racing bike reach numbers it is simply too longâŠi thought i would buy zero offset seatpost but Cervelo told me it hasnât been available for some time and they donât know when to expect new batchâŠ
Honestly, mine was kind of an impulse purchase that ended up with me having 2.5 complete bikes laying around, only one of which was being used consistently. Decided it was not worth it to keep crowding my shed/garage with bikes I donât get much of a chance to ride.
