**SOLD – 54 cm Cervelo SLC-SL

Frankly this pure race bike always deserved better legs than mine. The bike purchased from Competitive Cyclist has never been raced or dropped, far less crashed. Cervelo did have a factory recall on the original fork which was bike-mechanic replaced by the 3T Funda that now graces the frame. One of the first bikes to forgo paint to save weight (there's no decorative carbon over the base layup and just clear coat). The carbon wheels were custom assembled by Troy Watson at Ligero Wheelworks and weigh approximately 1300g. There are no decals on the rims, the Ligero hubs are black anodized and laser etched to complement the overall stealthy look of the bike. I probably rode the bike a total of 1500 miles, the wheelset much less, perhaps 400 miles. My quirky back preferring the softer ride of my Ti Enigma. I hate to part with this black beauty but someone should be racing it.

The bike is being sold without pedals. I'll include half a set (2 pads) of new Swiss stop yellow pads, the best stopping pads for the wheels, and a special oval seat clamp that allows the aero seatpost to be clamped in a typical workstand. There's one tiny nick in the clear coat in the middle of the right brake lever, otherwise the bike is in mint condition in terms of looks and mechanics.

Bike has been sold to a local chiropractor, who'll give it a good ride.

In an effort to make more room in the garage there will be more equipment up for sale shortly, but only this one race bike.
