Cervelo S2

[Fevmeister]

I think I'm going to buy the cervelo s2 frameset at the weekend but have a question. I will be buying an ultegra groupset to use on the bike so my question is - can you wire the ultegra 6750 shifters under the bar tape. Otherwise I don't think I'll get the frameset because it looks very messy with cables flying all over the front end and into the top tube!

[Greg Quinn]

Yes 6700 shifters can be wired under the bar tape. However I did notice Shimano have a disclaimer on internal frame wiring. It makes me think electronic group sets would be best for these type of frames.

Yea but I don't have di2 money at the moment and the s2/3 frame requires drilling to accommodate the di2 kit. If you have a look at the ics3 routing its only very minimal

S2 has been out for a number of years, predating Di2. It is commonly sold with Ultegra so you shouldn't have any issues setting it up

I had an S2 and had no probs with the set up and ran 105 on it as thats all I could afford/need no under bar gear cables no probs

Looking at the r5 now - lightness is rightness!

[Greg Quinn]

Tight clearances on the r5. You may be better getting something more old money.

[Fevmeister]

Unsure I follow Gregory, sorry

The Cervelo may be a great bike but its not a real world bike for British roads. The clearance between tyre and frame is tiny.

I think you may be thinking of the s5 my friend
