About Cervelo

Phil White and Gerard Vroomen founded Cervelo in 1995 when their design for a new time trial bicycle, built at the request of a professional cyclist, failed to garner interest from traditional cycle manufacturers.

Today, Cervelo is the largest time-trial bike manufacturer in the world. This company is recognized internationally as one of the most innovative and fastest growing bike manufacturers the sport has seen in years. This has culminated in Cervelo being the #1 brand readers of VeloNews, CycleSport, InsideTriathlon and Slowtwitch (all publications for serious cyclists and triathletes) intend to purchase in 2008. For 2008, Cervelo currently produces ten different models. Its products are available internationally. Please visit http://www.cervelo.com/ for further information.
