That's the P5C. The P4C is obsolete.

There has been rumor for some time that the "P4" would have an integrated hydration system. I can't explain it in this picture, but maybe that is it somehow?

A cutout for the bottle, perhaps... looks too small, from that picture.

Personally, hydration isn't a big deal for me, all my TT's are under an hour.

How is that different from any Cervelo? Nice bikes, mind blowingly Fugly graphics.

Regardless, I bought one. It will be covered with mud and duct tape soon enough.

Looking at the Cervelo patent applications, it does appear that there may an internal drinking system that sits at the seattube junction.

Well, hopefully the P3's will lose resale value.

That's not the smartest way to time trial but to each their own.

The new ridley has already obsoleted the bike you haven't even gotten yet.

Hmm, it wouldn't match my team kit. It's all about aesthetics, you know.

Wait. Ridley named a bike after Gary's kid?

That's impressive Gary.

You can't be on your iPhone Gary, you're using the Shift key. We're not that gullible.

And one more thing Steinberg, just because you win all the bike races doesn't mean you should irresponsibly blow your dough on silly bike schwag.

That's my job.

I have a new bike and don't need to be aero.

iPhone autocorrects so sometimes it works in my favor.

My Specialized Transition has a similar, though less pronounced, notch in the downtube - it's so Specialized's fancy-schmancy, impossible-to-find-for-sale aero bottles fit perfectly - so it's more aero.

Word on the street is that the unveiling of the worst kept secret in the industry will take place at 9:30 tomorrow. Hopefully we will get better pics.
