I bought a cervelo R3 new back in the early 2000s. $5000US or so in year 2005 money. Crashed it hard and did not try to get the frame repaired. That was by far my favorite bike. I just bought another R3 off ebay for $800 shipped. I've been riding it for months. The thing is great. It's got some scuffed paint probably from a car bike rack, but otherwise looks brand new. I'm not delusional enough anymore to pay $10,000 or $14,000 for a bicycle.

Thanks DurianRider, I recently bought a bike with Fulcrum Racing Zero (FRZ) wheels and, as you, love them. They are great for climbing albeit cant help think that there maybe some aero gains to be had with a deeper profile - what are your thoughts? Is there a wheelset out there that competes with the FRZ`s & offers a better aero profile (my use - Gran Fondo & everyday riding)

Short answer - no. I did similar a few years ago. It’s a very comfy ride: more like an armchair and no real zip compared to a carbon / alu frame. Good for winter or touring, but not if you want to blast around for an hour.

Aside from tire clearance and wider gear ranges, i see no meaningful advances in road bike tech for the last 15 years for people who don't race at the pro level. And if I'm on a ride that requires either of those two advances, I'll ride my gravel bike instead. Completely happy with my lightweight 2011 Scott Foil with rim brakes and have no intention of replacing it with something more modern

For most people not racing these bikes would be too harsh. A newer bike with more relaxed geometry and wider tire clearance is just a better experience. You can lighten it up if you wish to but don’t have to. The weight won’t make much difference.

There is an alternative for folks like you. Look through the old ads from people posting ridiculous prices, as a result these bikes have sat for many, many months, I've seen them advertised for a year, withdrawn, then re-advertised. They've worn out their market by taking offence to realistic offers. Just talk truth to them nicely, & maybe.
