Finally got my first TT bike (P2C)
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.
PS: I can't wait until I get my race wheels for her.

Congratulations 53x12. Great to see it all come together (via questions here and Weight Weenies).
You have decided now on the wheels?

Very nice looking ride.
Someday I hope to earn enough and save enough to feel like I could buy something like that.

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! I want one.
How fast can you ride it before you hit the blue door down the hall?

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.

+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.
