Bought the Soloist a couple weeks ago in gold. She’s a beaut!

I still think the Soloist is the bike to buy if you only have one bike, or if you only have one Cervelo. It basically makes the S5 / R5 convo obsolete. You can build up a Soloist frame any way you want to. Value prop in this bike is off the charts. Also, just an FYI, the Shimano Di2 battery lasts for months in-between charges, and that's with riding the bike several times per week. Just something to point out. I'm jealous that you have both!

Absolutely

I think the idea is that since you have to charge more often with SRAM, you remember it. Shimano has such a lot battery life, you forget it is needed, and eventually it runs out.

@@evanl7743 Shimano lasts 2-3 rides after the battery warning flashes on my Garmin. I’ve never had it run out on me, and that’s even after I’ve forgotten to charge it before riding again on a low battery.

Great video - although my anxiety was peaking on potential paint scratches from leaning both bikes against the brick wall

I love my Soloist. It's such a pleasure to ride.

@richardbanks5751 Месяц назад

Going through the debate between the two, this really helped. Thought you were going to say soloist if you only had one! I think I'd skip the Cal5 due to the hose faff tax and run a soloist with some 30-32s

@@richardbanks5751 if you’re based in UK the Cal5 is on sale 30% with many retailers ! That could be significant in you’re decision. Both great bikes . But for me the Cal5 is a bit more comfortable- no sore back !

@kennyg-bestlifecycling 2 месяца назад

I can’t get a identical setup, as the front stack is about 30cm lower . It is significant for my lack of flexibility unfortunately.

@brittle1 Месяц назад

Soloist probably has an edge in terms of speed just due to frame stiffness but ya, you're right. For us mere mortals, probably doesn't make much real world difference.

@kennyg-bestlifecycling Месяц назад

Just feels better riding at speed , more responsive

had a caledonia for a few weeks as my "foul weather" or emergency use backup bike. frame rode like a wet noodle tho! ultra smooth and comfy but insanely flex and sluggish. wanted to get a soloist frameset to build but they were all out of stock for a full year and now it doesnt make sense to get one since it will be a new model in 3-5mo...ohyeah and the caledonia was sooo big, deff size down if you ride a cannondale pinarello or trek. had a 58 but shoulda had a 56 for absolutely sure.

@kennyg-bestlifecycling 2 месяца назад

Yes , I size 1 down on the Cervelo . Wet noodle lol . The cal a great 3 season bike . Really want to be on something zippier in the summer

@paulmastermann2200 21 день назад

When will a new Soloist/ Caledonia come out? Any News? Thanks in advance!! Why do you think its worth to wait??

@aleksandrmatyka3118 16 часов назад

If that's true I really hope they will add more color sheme

@kennyg-bestlifecycling 2 месяца назад

Perhaps I need to change my di2 battery

"I would like to order the same bike that you have, the Caledonia 5. What is the name of the color?"

@kennyg-bestlifecycling 11 дней назад

I got the first release in 2021 . It only came in black and white . I took the black one . The new release this year has some upgrades . A tool kit area in the down tube
