It seems to me that Cervelo is one of the few companies which did not
make special edition jersey bikes, i.e., no yellow bike for Sastre. I
think it was just bar tape and pedals.

The yellow bar tape on the last day did look festive, and yet it was
still modest. Nice.

CyclingNews agrees:

I think he also had a yellow saddle. I guess you don't count the
yellow timing thing on his chainstay.

It's only a Canadian company in that they're located there to allow
the employees to take advantage of the free health care. Otherwise,
it would be based in SoCal with production done in a facility in
Tijuana or maybe Taiwan.

And CSC kept their regular black shorts instead of having colour matched with the
jersey, which mostly looks awful.

Ah, poor Ryder Hesjedahl, overlooked for his glorious 47th place.

make special edition jersey bikes, i.e., no yellow bike for Sastre. I
think it was just bar tape and pedals.

Frank's frame wouldn't fit Carlos.

It's not about the bike, but Cervelo does strike me as a company that
has been very serious about the aerodynamics of their frames, and they
seem to do a pretty good job of designing them.

On the other hand, I think the peloton is starting to go slightly wacky
with new BB designs, new headset designs, and new tricks for outright
flouting UCI aerodynamics rules (If that thing sticking down from
Giant's new TT-bike stem isn't a head tube fairing, then what the heck
is it??)

Um, what?

The founders being, you know, from Canada, have no more reason to leave
their home country than any American country has to come north, free
health care or not.

It's always charming to fret about the manufacturing jobs that are being
left in Taiwan or China, but few consider that absent sending those jobs
to China, a company like Cervelo (or Norco, or Raleigh) would not exist
at anything like the scale it does, if at all.

There are companies that do very well building in the same place as they
design (Cannondale and Trek are two examples, though two examples that
tellingly split their production between the US and Asia), but they have
particular reasons for doing so.

Ceding most of the industry to Giant does not seem like a well
thought-out plan,

C'mon, Ryan... surely you had to know I was just joking. I thought
surely the comment health care would've been a tip-off. Of course
no one is in Canada for the health care.
