I've got a shiny new cervelo coming in Monday as I was wondering if anyone knew to a protective film kit like invisiframe that would fit. Or any rolls of film that I could do it myself.
It's carbon too so wondering how to best protect the chainstay and BB area from chain suck

tape wont do anything for chainsuck. There are chain catcher devices out for road bikes, K-edge used to do one but probably cheaper copies now.

I bought a sheet of oraguard 280 paint protection film from amazon, measured up my bike and carefully cut each piece to size using a scalpel and ruler. Then to finish I used a 5mm corner punch to round off the corners.

Take your time and you can get a nice finish that will cover most of the bike.

it's probably comes with a small glued on metal panel to protect the frame from dropping the chain as for other frame covering I wouldn't bother (perhaps so helitape across the top of the drive side chainstay if it not already there).

What cervelo are you getting?
I'm thinking of an orange R3 with Di
