Save the Rim Brake; Braden's Cervélo R3 Crit Machine.

Proving that road bike technology for the most part plateaued a decade ago. Are marginal gains real? Sure.

But this washed-up cat3 sitting mid-pack isn't stressing it. The true beauty is the combination of the light and stiff feel of a proper race frame with the DGAF mentality that only a used eBay find can deliver. Will I crash it? I sure hope not. But if I do, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll get it repaired I guess.
