I’m reviving this zombie thread for no reason but to say that having just ridden my P13 (which is running a P15 drivetrain), these are such amazing, well-mannered bikes. That is all.

About 15 miles in I started grinning and saying out loud to nobody what a great bike it is. Comfortable, stable, and when you dig in and ask it to work harder, boom. No drama, it just delivers. Vittoria Corsa tubulars felt great too, had them at about 87 which is unheard of these days but they were smooth as can be.
