Cervelo P3 SL?

[zankou135]

Hey guys I've done several olympic distance tri's with my '05 Lemond Road bike, but now i'm looking to get an actual tri-specific bike. This is mainly because at my last tri, i lost to the third place guy by less than 10 seconds, which ticked me off..Second of all, I got an offer for a 2005 Cervelo P3 SL with a Selle Italia saddle for $600. It's slightly used, about 200 miles in total on it, and it fits me just fine. My question is: Is it a good deal or not?
These are the specs
-55cm frame, black anodized finish
-Wolf carbon aero fork, uncut steerer
-Cervelo carbon seatpost,
-Easton Vista wheels, 700c
-fully adjustable Visiontech aero bar set-up
-90mm Vision Tech stem
-Vision Tech base bar, 42cm width
-Vision Tech race bend aerobars, uncut, 390mm length
-Shimano Dura-Ace TT bar end shifters
-FSA Gossamer Mega-Exo crankset, 53-39
-Shimano 10 speed cassette, 12-25
-Shimano 105 F/R derailleurs
-Cervelo dual pivot brakes
-Selle San Marco Regal saddle
-Vittoria Diamante Pro Light tires
Thanks in advance for any advice and tips!

Is it a good deal? No...it's a freakin' steal. I can't believe anyone would sell it for $600.

Yeah, that's a very good deal. Check the wheel size (I seem to recall that many of the original P3s rolled 650c wheels in many larger sizes), but other than that $600 for a p3 that fits is a steal!

Brilliant deal if it fits!

Re wheelsize, it will be 700c. I have a pdf copy of the 2005 Cervelo catalogue and the P3 SL was 700c from 53cm up.

I'll give you $750. for it.

And I already have one!

[cjbruin]

$751! Oh wait...it's not my size. Bummer.

Really can't go wrong. Maybe not as bling as newer carbon frames, but going on the frames aspect ratios it still ranks very high - higher than many of the newer generic carbon models floating about!

*I'm biased though since I recently built up and race a NOS P3 Al model :thumb:

since this bike seems priced too good to be true, what would you guys think the price for the bike should be?
