Cervelo Caledonia and Caledonia 5

[PaulSB]

I'm contemplating a new bike and Cervelo is very high on my list. I wondered if anyone has direct experience of any of the models in this range?

I have the R5 and a S2. Had them both for a few years, Love them.

There are a few good (well, less expensive) deals on the range at the mo- a 105 Caledonia can be had for £2500 (Sigma Sports, Wheelbase and others also have discounts on various models) https://www.westbrookcycles.co.uk/brands/cervelo/caledonia. As ever (on lots of makes), base-model wheels are one of the ways they've cut corners, so worth digging into specs and seeing what's worth paying extra for up front. What are you looking for in this bike, what's the budget, what alternatives are you considering?

Keep the original wheels for gravel riding and get some lighter wheels for road work?

Indeed, that would be one option…
