Eurobike road: Cervélo and Milani

Celeste Milani and his family present the 2009 Milani range.

  • The Cervélo S3 is the Canadian company's new top aero road frame.
  • The S3 is claimed to have even more bottom bracket stffness than its predecessor, the SLC-SL.
  • Despite the extra lateral stiffness these flattened chainstays are claimed to make the frame more comfortable than before.
  • The rear end of the S3 is supposedly more aerodynamic than before, too.
  • The S3 uses top-entry internal cable routing similar to what's used on many top time trial frames.
  • Believe it or not this is a cable stop so that the internal cables don’t need as much housing which would add extra weight and friction.
  • This is not a museum piece; the Olympic themed paint scheme is available to buy.
  • Slotting in below the S3 is the new S2 which shares many of its features.
  • The seat tubes of the R3 and RS frames have been narrowed for comfort and now use 27.2mm seatposts.
  • This is the bike ridden to points race gold and madison silver by Spain's Joan Llaneras.
  • Cervélo won gold in the both time trials through Fabian Cancellara and Kristin Armstrong, but this is Karin Thürig's bronze medal ride.
  • Celeste Milani and his family present the 2009 Milani range.
  • The Milani N107E is the Gallarate company's flagship frame.
  • The N107E frame comes in white as well as red.
  • The N107E's top tube has a triangular cross-section that points up at the head tube and down at the seat tube.
  • The N107E has an extended seat tube and is assembled using cabon wrapping techniques.
  • The Icon is Milani's time trial frame and uses similar tubes to the N107E but with an aero section seat tube.
  • The Milani Seigiorni track frame looks forward to the day that the Six Days of Milan returns.
  • Milani's range also includes the carbon Fango cyclo-cross frame.
  • Milani harks back to its past with the lugged steel Replica.
  • The Milani Replica has some lovely chrome detailing on the head tube lugs.
  • Milani uses Cinelli lugs for the steel Replica frameset.
