    I have the Helium with Ultegra 11s in team colours (2014 edition) and it's a very nice ride. Very comfortable. €3.5k might get you a DA equipped Helium, but it won't get an R3 with Dura Ace.

    It's like comparing a BMW to a Fiat. ....cervelo being the BMW....car is perfect, top of the range, no bull****. ..every frame is of a high standard....with the Ridley or fiat....your only looking at mediocre....but I suppose a cars a car right!!

    Nonsense. Rubbish comparison. Ridleys are a top class frame. There UK and irish suppliers are utter tools tho but ridley make great frames anyone who told you otherwise doesn't have a clue what there talking about.

    Nonsense+1. I currently have an R3 but my brother has a Noah and it's an unbelievable bike. I have to admit the Cervelo quality is fantastic but there is definitely an "Apple" factor for many people where the bike is seen as a status symbol. If they produced a total turd people will still buy it. But unfortunately you get a lot of that in the cycling world, be it Bib shorts or brake pads.

    For the OP it's a nice choice to have.
