But it also has Squoval Max tubes, so must be worth it.

Reckon it will make me at least 15 watts faster having that badge on there

...as you try and power away from the other cyclists so they can't see the badge

Haha! Indeed!!!

No EPS or WTO Ultra wheels. I'll pass.

As a comparison my LBS built me a BMC teammachine which is arguably at least as good if not a better frame with integrated cables and the same wheels and groupset for £8000

So it’s basically a £10,000 paintjob…..

I thought about it, but my favoured supplier could only get a 58cm frame, and no one else could even get one. That’s a push, so no. It was quite nice though, full Campag SR EPS hydraulic brake and all, but 58 is too big by a margin. 7 grand’s worth of bragging rights is probably a bit extravagant.



This is what the paint job is based on though.

It’s very expensive but I wouldn’t say it was ugly.

Well bloody hell I'm blind. It does have EPS. It was the st cable routing that threw me.

I added the parts up to about £10.5 - £11k.

Bought it november 2019 - Campag were doing an Autumn deal and discounting £2000 off the wheels and groupset. Was a bargain in the wierd world of a bike costing £8000 instead of £10,000

Or this one…



The R5 is a lovely bike and it is specced up, but a Lamborghini badge and a different paint job doesn’t add much in my opinion.

I don’t see how they can ask this amount of money when there are very special bikes at the 10k price range… and even that is pretty nuts!
