More about the Caledonia
The Caledonia is Cervélo's endurance road bike, and it is the one in the range most riders should probably be looking at first. The same carbon knowledge that goes into the S5 and the R5, aimed at real roads rather than closed ones. A longer wheelbase, a taller front end, room for proper tyres, and mounts for the things that make a bike genuinely useful through a Scottish winter.
There are two frames in the family. The Caledonia here, and the Caledonia-5, which uses a higher grade carbon layup and a fully integrated cockpit. Same geometry, same clearances, different weight and different money.
Geometry is tuned around a 32mm tyre: a 1013mm wheelbase, 415mm chainstays and a 72° head tube angle. It is stable without feeling slow, which is the trick endurance bikes usually get wrong in one direction or the other.
The T47A threaded bottom bracket deserves a word on its own. Threaded shells are easier to service, quieter over time and far more forgiving of the wet, salted roads we get here between November and March. Put that together with cable routing that does not pass through the stem and you have a bike that stays cheap and quick to look after.
