Anyone know the exact make and year of this? What’s a good price?

Looks to be 2018-2021? My only issue would be rim brakes on carbon wheels, don’t ride in wet conditions. I may offer $1200 dependent upon wheel brand and any other upgrades.

The frame is a 2016 Cervelo R3, but this is a custom build as Cervelo did not make a model with 105 and they had rotor crankssets. There are a lot of reviews of this frame online that are worth a read, but understand that what passed as comfortable 10 years ago would no long fly today. The problem with old rim brake bikes is a lack of tire clearance, some don’t mind narrower tires, some do. Do you live somewhere that rains a lot? If so I wouldn’t want carbon wheels with rim brakes. Definitely paying a cervelo tax with this one

2016 R3, but as other poster said, not a stock cervelo build. These came standard with a 30mm axle crank, so someone put a non-standard BB in there to accommodate the 25mm Shimano cranks.
I had one of these for a few years, really liked it. Be aware that this frame fits 25mm tires at best – I had some minimal rubbing with 25s when out of the saddle.
