Review Post 1 Year! Cervelo Soloist vs Cervelo Caledonia 5: Which Wins?

Perhaps I need to change my di2 battery

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

a bit hard to understand, mic seems over saturated at times

Your review was not very good sir

Hi Kenny!, thank you for your video, I'm thinking of changing my soloist for a crux because currently its on 50 off sale, what do you think, when i ride my solist my hands gets numb i know people say its the fit, but I'm just new in cycling, let me know your thoughts with the crus because i want to ride gravel as well, i can also keep my soloist although half of me says having 2 bikes is too much.

didn't Kenny G have a lot of solo (get it?) clarinet hits?

Love my soloist
