Will post ride report tomorrow.
Was unable to ride today due to front tyre just being glued on and heavy rain.
Will let you know how it feels tomorrow.
Would have liked the disc but as I could only afford 1 wheelset at the time, I chose the the safer option should I race and the conditions be too windy for a disc.
Will buy zipp disc later as funds allow.

Nyyiiccceee! Just what I'm looking for! May I ask - not that you have to tell - what this beauty set you back? Did you look at any other bikes? Have you heard about any warranty issues recently with Cervelo? So how does it ride? Is it faster than your old bike? What is it like in a cross wind? So many questions. . . .

This beauty in aus dollars set me back close to $11,000.
Was looking at others but fell in love first sight of the P3C.
Have heard of some warranty issues with the 2.5's but from what I have also heard cervelo dealt with them with minimum fuss. Not concerned with that unless something should happen.
The ride lets just say nothing short of sensational. Very stiff in the BB as it should be but also very forgiving on less than perfect roads. The carbon absorbs the bumps beautifully.
The 808's had me on edge a few times during some early rides. Have since done around 250-300kms on them and P3C and am very used to them now. Downhill still gets a little scary if a strong wind hits you but thats the price for such a deep rim. Rear is no problem at all only the front.

Very nice. If you don't mind, what size is it and what is the total weight.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Size is 56cm.
Weight as weighed on digital scales with me came in at 8.4kg as you see it (including xlab etc). Frame, forks and seat post weigh a bit over 2kg around 2.1kg I think from memory.
