Finally got my first TT bike (P2C)

[53x12]

I fell in love awhile back when I saw the new paint scheme and with the great price I couldn't resist. I got the bike yesterday and got my first preliminary fit. There are quite a few spacers on it, which I hope to have sized down over the next few weeks as I get my position dialed in. Right now the saddle to armrest drop is around 8cm, I hope to be able to go to ~11cm by the time I am done. Originally I posted a thread in the road forum but realized you guys would enjoy them more. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures.

Congratulations 53x12. Great to see it all come together (via questions here and Weight Weenies).

You have decided now on the wheels?

[Sprocket Man]

Wow, that is one hot bike! I like the new colors.

Very nice looking ride.


Someday I hope to earn enough and save enough to feel like I could buy something like that.

[fzrdave]

Beautiful bike. I hope to trade up to one of those one day.

I am not completely decided, however due to finances I think the Hed3 and Renn rear will be my best option. I would like to give Zipps a try, but I can't justify the price difference.

Sweet ride! :D I want one. :(

How fast can you ride it before you hit the blue door down the hall? :p

[^*^BATMAN^*^]

53x12......hed3 and renn disk.....dont even bother with zipps. They are not faster, expecially considering they will cost your about double. Or the other route you could go is get an earo set of wheels, like say Hed Stingers, and get a wheel cover for the back. That way you will have a full set of aero wheels, plus the bennifit of a disk on the back when the course calls for it. a cover is like $60.

Very nice! Now for what we really would like to know: how much?

Yeah that is most likely the route I will go. I thought about the Stingers, but I'm not sure I want to go the wheel cover route. I think I would rather run a full disc in the rear. I'm not 100% sure yet. The other thing I am struggling with is the whole clincher vs. tubular debate going on in my head. That is probably going to be harder to decide than the wheels. :rolleyes:

MSPR for the Cervelo P2C Ultegra is $2500. I don't imagine shops marking this bike down any further, since the P2C Ultegra is easily the best buy at the $2500 price point in all of triathlon right now.

+1, I got the bike at MSRP. It is a steal when you consider what you are getting for your $$$. Easily the best bang for the buck.
