A Bike For The Way Riders Are

It was conceived on the Thursday night rides - routes that often play fast and loose with ‘road ride.’ As they tried to stuff bigger tires into the R5s and streamline Aspéros, a new kind of bike was born.

When Cervélo design a bike, they start with their library of tube shapes. These shapes are tubes they’ve used on other models that are known to have various qualities - aerodynamic, stiff, ultralight, and so on - and these qualities help get to the refinement stage on a bike more quickly. In the case of Caledonia, they wanted durability, lightweight and aero dynamics to be in balance and selected a package that achieved the performance demands of this kind of race bike.

Caledonia uses a standard round bar, stem, and seat post, giving riders the option to build their ultimate ride without compromise. Integrated accessory mounts and hidden fender mounts keep the bike’s refined lines so you can ride with lights and computers in a downpour and still look fast. Because we all know if it looks fast, it probably is.

Rather than designing multiple versions of the bike with various fit profiles (R5, R-Series, etc.) like Cervélo have done in the past, they designed a system that enables a broad range of fits on a single bike while maintaining the aesthetic and functional cleanliness demanded. Modern road riders are looking for bikes to handle long-distance, high pace, no limits, and offer maximum fun. By placing lower modulus carbon in key areas to mitigate the brittleness of high modulus carbon - the Caledonia delivers performance, comfort, and speed.

With an adjustable geometry and the ability to fit a 34mm tire, no ride is off-limits. The low-modulus carbon construction ensures that you get the performance, comfort, and speed that you need, no matter where your journey takes you. Whether you’re looking for a fast and furious ride or a comfortable and relaxed journey, the Caledonia has got you covered.

Removable FDM

Our bolt-on front derailleur mount is made from high-strength aluminum alloy and attaches to the frame with two countersunk screws. This allows for easy replacement in the event of damage but also enables you to adapt to new standards as they become available or remove the front derailleur mount completely if you choose a 1x system

Integrated Accessory Mounts

Integrated mounts enable the use of fenders, lights, and computers without compromising the aerodynamics or structure of your bike. The built-in mount systems provide a simple and clean-looking soluti

Why Buy From Us?

Why Buy From Billy Bilsland Cycles?

We're one of the most well established bike shops in Scotland and have been selling bikes to Glasgow and far beyond since 1980, so you can be sure that we're not going anywhere 😀

We care about what bike you buy, and we want it to be right bike FOR YOU, not one that would suit us. If you buy your bike from us, we want to keep you as a customer and keep your bike riding perfectly. We offer a free 6 week / 300 mile “tune-up” service, where we tighten up bolts and cables, index your gears and generally sort out any small issues you have after the short bedding in period.

You'll also have priority access to our workshop for repairs or servicing. We never turn away someone who has bought their bike from us, no matter how busy we are. You may have to leave your bike with us for a couple of days, but you'll be at the top of the list.

We offer free loans of a hard-case Bike Box Alan if you're travelling with your bike, just tell us when you need it and we'll book you in.

The best (and cheapest) time to make changes to a bike is at the initial build stage, avoiding the need to re-cable, bleed brakes etc. We can swap your saddle, change stems, wheels, tyres, bars, cranks, bar tape, group-set, pedals, add luggage and mudguards - the list is endless.

If you're ordering online, just select your upgrade or pop a note in the order when checking out.

Very few bikes leave the shop as they came to us, with stem and tyre changes being the most common.

Bikes are fully built up from scratch by our Cytech Level 2 mechanics. Brakes are bedded in on our brake bedding roller. Being situated in Glasgow, we’re used to preparing bikes for our wonderful British weather so everything is greased up to suit a Glasgow winter. Bikes are then buddy checked, test ridden and re-boxed for shipping with minimal assembly at your end.

High-end website sales are likely to be shipped in a hard case requiring minimum rebuild - attach the wheels, fit pedals (remember pedals are specific to the side of the bike) and away you go. We’ll arrange return shipping for the bike box.

Have you had a bike fit? Send us your fit data and we’ll set up the bike to your position.

Small adjustments make such a big difference.

Are the gears low/high enough for you? Do you have the correct tyre width? Favoured tyre brand? Fancy going tubeless? We’ll make suggestions that will improve your cycling enjoyment.

Bike-Fit is a big part of the in-store service, and usually involve swapping saddles, bars and stems. Whether it’s our suggestion or your requirements, we’re here to help you buy your perfect bike.
