I am looking at the P2K and was wondering about their frame sizes in comparison to what I ride now. I currently fit on 63 Trek 1000, but the Cervelo only goes up to 61...are the frame sizes usually smaller on a tri bike? In other words, is your tri size usually smaller than your road size, generally?

Generally yes, I would ride a 52-54 road and a 50-53 tri. Also, as with road bikes, tri bikes sizes differ in actual size as compared with named sizes.

That seems to be how it is for Cervelo bikes. My Soloist is a 56, and my P3 is a 55.

don't know how much this helps, but my old road bike was a 60cm Cannondale R800, My Cervelo soloist is a 58 cm and when I have it set up for triathlons (forward seat post) it fits perfect.

TT frame definitely smaller - most suggest a frame 2cm smaller than your road frame... WheresWaldo posted an identical topic in the Road Bike section to the one linked above, which has some good comments also.
