I’ve recently gotten more into recreational road cycling. I currently ride between 200-250kms each week on a very pretty but well used and undersized ’90 Connondale ST600. I want to upgrade to something in better condition that fits. The bike pictured is my size. It doesn’t come with the pedals but that’s not a showstopper for me. I don’t know anything about Cervelos. I tried to gauge the market for other comparable bikes with little success. Is this bike worth the price/the right fit for my needs? Thanks.

Is this a late 90’s Cervélo Eyre?
Are you OK with having shifters on the ends of your drops?
Also, this is a really old bike. I’d be worried about the integrity of the frame and how worn out the cassette is.
I think its cool from a vintage / historical perspective but I wouldn’t buy it as my main road bike.

In that price range I’d go with an Aluminum roadbike, newer than 10 yrs old, with tiagra or better.
This is an old school time trial bike converted to a road bike. It will put you into a very forward seating position with a lot of pressure on your hands. For most people this would be unridable. For the others it’s merely uncomfortable.
