Thanks

What front wheel are you rockin?

Looking good BATMAN -- looks like you are freaking speeding. Let me know when you want to sell your P3

Ya, I matched my fastest time that night. An average of 40.39km/h(25.09mi/h). I think that it is a little slow, but it is on bad pavement, and there is like 10 climbs, and one real nasty false flat. It is the perfect training TT for a Triathlete, becuase it gets you ready for everything. I am hoping to be hitting around the mid 40's for the TTs this weekened, cus its flat as a board, and on good pavement.

Just don't crash with those wheels on there Cracker.


Ooops.
:D

They are. They're for fixing flats. Tri Geeks just always come up with inventive ways to store stuff.

:p :o

Ya know, now that you've sent those back, my TT wheels would look good on your Cervelo. Hint. Hint. :D

Heres mine... its Just a CAAD8 that I ride in triathlons .... It does pretty well.

Jamis Trilogy, stock like it comes, I added a water bottle cage, re-setup the aerodrink bottle, and added a bag in the rear since the picture. By the looks of things I am about 1 of three people here that ride Jamis bikes, and the only one posting anything in the Tri section. It is a lonely world.

Hey Aaron nice bike -- The Trilogy is awesome -- I really like the look of that bike. How do you like the Mavic Cosmic Elites? I am thinking of getting a pair. How durable are they? Are they pretty aero?

Don't do tri's but I do lend it out to my riding partner who does. I have over 40,000 miles on her. I also have a zipp that isn't painted that been collecting dust, that I just started building back up last week.

Why both rears?

Definitely aero, not sure about durability, they came with the bike, and I have maybe 150miles on them so far with out any issues, and I hit a few rough areas while riding, one time I thought I busted one, but in reality the road was just very badly rippled for a block or so.

The bike is fast... unfortunately, I'm not. :( At least I feel fast :D

Here is my new Cervelo P2C. I just got it together last night and took it for the first ride this morning. It rides like a dream. It is mostly stock- Ultegra front and rear derailleurs, Vision base bar and aero bars & I added the FSA carbon cranks and Speedplay Light Action Stainless pedals. I will be upgrading to Dura Ace deraileurs and some Hed wheels shortly. All my upgrades are incentive based depending on how I do in my races. It tends to give you an extra push at the end of the race when you are staring at first place in your age group in the back. I will be sure to add pics as i upgrade.

Great bike! Definately get those carbon wheels on there..... For the sake of the bike!

Nice bike dude. Though my question....why are you going to upgrade to DA? there is very little performance difference, and a small change in weight. There are better ways to spend your money.

I also got the new '08 P2C Ultegra. Only thing I have in store is to get my position dialed in (loose most of the spacers) and save up for some nice race wheels. I think the Hed3 front and a Renn disc will look very nice color wise to this frame. I can't wait.

Very nice! That is what I plan to buy, when i get a tri bike......maybe summer 09 hahah

You Cervelo guys realize there is a max recommended spacer height?

Bike is a sweet throw back what year is it?

You Cervelo guys realize there is a max recommended spacer height?

I have only found a max height on the Wolf SL fork not the TT fork. If you have any other info to support this it would be greatly appreciated. I have dropped a few spacers but I want to be sure that it is not over the max- if there is one on the TT fork. I am sitting at 55mm from top of the head tube to the bottom of the stem. Check out Chrissie Wellingtons bike I guess Cervelo didnt let her know of any max spacer height. Hers is about at what mine is in the pic I posted before dropping down.

Yaay, I got a new bike! Giant Trinity Alliance A2, with upgraded derailleurs (Ultegra) and my own mishmashed front end of Profile/Oval bars. I've only put about 50 miles on it so far, but I've gotta say, what a bike. Handles great, I can get nice and steep, and everything is nice and aero. Plus, the price can't be beat.

Cool looking bike. I like the picture of you on it. You look aero yet comfortable.
And hopefully you will go fast!:)

[(loose most of the spacers)


Man be careful. If those spacers are loose the whole front end might get wobbly.

-D

Sorry, forgot about this thread. The general concensus of big shops, Competitive Cyclist and the like, is spacer max= the diameter of the fork expecially on carbon forks. I couldn't find the TT fork specs, but I double checked with a shop buddy of mine who swears it's 50mm including the headset top cap.

I'll do some double checking, so don't quote me on that spec.

Rahzel, I think you got the absolute best bang for the buck bike out there. Just add some aero wheels and you'll be able to compete against anyone. I've been thinking about picking one up too with the same derailleur upgrade. And yeah, your position looks great on that bike.

Thanks for the kind statements! I completely agree about the A2 being the "best bang for the buck" bike right now. I would definitely recommend the A2 with the derailleur upgrade to just about anyone, 9spd Ultegra is pretty cheap nowadays anyway :)

Race wheels (bikesdirect vuelta 50mm tubulars with wheelbuilder.com wheel cover) are on the way!

Don't do tri's but I do lend it out to my riding partner who does. I have over 40,000 miles on her. I also have a zipp that isn't painted that been collecting dust, that I just started building back up last week.

Let me know if you need any help or insight. Actually, you'd probably help me out more than me being able to help you. In any case, it's nice to see other Zipp2001 owners out there. :D

I'd like to post my latest bike but can anyone help me with the size of image to upload. All I get is 100kb max for a jpeg which shows a pic not much bigger than my avatar. Thanks.

You can use a higher size, just size it either in pixel or inches, so it will fit the screen and not make everyone scroll over to see the whole thing.

You Cervelo guys realize there is a max recommended spacer height?

You can get that exact same position by flipping the stem up, and moving a few spacers above the stem (and eventually cutting it).

Perhaps not as "cool" as having the stem down, but it will be a tad stiffer, a tad lighter, and a tad safer.

Here's my new Orbea Ordu 2007 w/ Ultegra SL. It's my first Tri bike and I'm still trying to dial in.
