Alloy Cervelo P3. https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...1#post11171082
Have raced all distances, currently focussing on road ITT's at the moment due to running issues... This is the reason for the seat post in the rear position currently, as UCI rules dictate the nose of the saddle must be >5.0cm behind the BB.

Not that strong, though I did win the Victorian State Masters MMAS2 ITT championships in 2009.
Here in Australia regardless of the level of competition, we have to abide by the UCI rules.
Only events where I've had the bike go onto the fitting jig were at Nationals, but just in case they do spot checks I have it set up to meet these rules. Plus it's better to stick with the one set up anyway.

okay, i was jsut wondering becasues in america you only need to race under uci rules in uci events, so only the very best need to follow them, so i was thinking like damn your one strong ass racer haha ( and you are you won a master event and masters events are often just as fast if not faster than p/1/2 events)

Yes, I remember when you got your P3 900aero. They are still a great frame and is compareable aerowise to the P2C, which still tests very well amongst the latest crop! Like most people I like the idea of upgrades / new bikes, but I can't justify replacing this bike. I have a good fit on this frame and it is a great bike even if alloy as a frame material is seen as a bit dated...
For that reason, I still recommend the alloy P3 as a great bang for buck purchase if you can get your hands on one in good condition.
In regards to the poll - although it doesn't tell you what type of racing people are doing, it should give a nice idea of what is the more popular configuration.

I can't turn down an opportunity to show off my bikes...
Tri bike:
Road bike (came with clip-on aero bars):
I got the TT bike for an Ironman I didn't end up doing because I got laid off & couldn't afford to go to. The longest it's seen is 70.3.
