Nice P2! It is a great TT bike and at a somewhat reasonable price.
Here is mine after the OK TT Championships last year.

I am dismayed by your skewer orientation.

LOL. The things certain people see. Before I saw your post UMD i was thinking, why would he take a picture with the skewers purposely not fluid looking. These are the types of things that bother me, when I notice them. It's worse when you notice it on your own bike or pics and your like why would I even do that?
All that aside. This thing looks incredible (despite the non BF professional level photography). What type of skewers are those anyways? They'd look awesome on my touring bike.

Cages are Easton. Uber light while still holding bottles in place. Nokon cables. Bought the stem only to find it was a 17 degree set up, ended up fitting perfectly with the already cut steerer (got the frame from a buddy who raced it last year). With a 7-9 degree stem I end up flat on the top cone with a nubbin steerer. Doesn't bother me but definitely thins the resale market.
Skewers are Token, they were handy but I'll swap them out for some ti ones. Orientation is how I've been running them for years on all my bikes for several reasons:
A) Quick to pop open if you need to do a wheel change and are wearing gloves
b) If you crash the lever is a lot less likely to be driven into the frame and cause damage (life lesson from several years ago).
c) Aerodynamics. (Seriously).
It has a SLCB powermeter (SLCB= Stoopid Light Climbing Bike). The SLCB unit is a virtually weightless "tattletale" PM, perfect for the weight weenie types who trim their fingernails before, say, going to Gila to get their assets handed to them by riders with absurdly fabulous genetics. This time I'm trimming the nose hair and eyelashes BTW.
Integrated with the rider it's based on the riders real time FTP and other critical power limiters. If those limiters are exceeded it notifies the racer by narrowing their vision. Exceed one or more of those limits for too long and it ejects the stomach contents of the rider.
I can tell you it works. I've run it back to back with my SRM and its very accurate.

Could happen I suppose, but I keep them tighter than a lot of people and if someone managed to get their wheel in that position and leverage 30 pounds or so of force to pop them, my guess is it'll be as we're hitting the ground.

One Noah out west, one here, one in EDR's garage
No weight yet, I'll chuck the Reynolds on there tomorrow and hook it up. I forgot to weight just the frame, but the mag article I've read had Ridley's claimed weight pretty dern close.

Ex, don't Worry about me. I saw it in a race once and heard about it happening on a local ride but did not see it personally.
