Story of my bike (Vox Pop): Maxime's Cervélo S5 – thoughts from the owner of a bike reviewed in 2018

This particular Cervélo was reviewed in considerable detail in November 2018 shortly after the new-style S5 was launched. (You can find numerous videos about it, links below.) By sheer coincidence, it returned to the RIDE Media office after we asked a couple of guys from the 'Les Gars' group in Sydney to come in and talk about the bikes they ride.
And so, this rider vox pop – with Maxime Moffroid – is something of a follow-up: what happens to a review bike after it goes to market.
Years later, there are very few changes other than Maxime adding a Stage power meter to what was a very impressive package three years earlier.

Is it faster than Maxime's previous bike, a Cervélo S3? "Yes," he insists.
