I purchased a 2008 Cervelo R3SL last May, thanks to help from JCL.

It now has 2,800 miles on it. I put about a 1,000 miles on it last year and this I rode seriously from April through late June. With the summer heat I did not ride much. I plan do more cycling this fall.

I did a number of mods to the bike:

1) Dura Ace 7900 compact crank, cassette and chain
2) Gore Shifter Cables (The original shifter cable was had a on-going tension problem)
3) 4 Vittoria Corsa EVO tires. They where out fast and might switch to Conti
4) Garmin 705 GPS
5) Numerous pairs of bike clothing (I have found that Performance short bibs are a great deal)

The most important mod is that I am in better shape and have lost over 20 pounds.
