As a Cervélo R3 rider (2008 model) I think I can give you some advice!

It depends on what you kit this bike out with?  The R3 is a bike that deserves good components (I will be upgrading mine to the new Dura-ace 7900 when it's available!) I'm not joking this bike is the 'dogs danglies'!

As a club rider bike it's well . . .ok!

But when you sprint or push it hard . . thats when it comes to life, the power transfer is unbeatable.  Cervélo will admit that the Soloist is faster (due to aerodynamic styling) but the R3 is lighter!, I have made upgrades to mine (1380 gramme Dura-Ace cabon wheels and 125gm Selle Italia saddle,etc). I like the Climbs!!!

I must admit, I haven't weighed mine recently but I will recommend this bike whole-heartedly!
