 4 |  Subject: Classic P3 vs. P2 105Hi all, New to the forum and triathlons. I'm looking at buying my first triathlon bike and I'm having trouble deciding between a 2013 Cervelo P3 Ultegra (priced at $2700) and a Cervelo P2 105 ($2900). At first I thought the P3 was clearly the better choice, but now I'm not so sure. Opinions?? Thanks in advance Edited by markpio 2017-08-01 7:00 AM |

Expert 2852     Pfafftown, NC | Subject: RE: Classic P3 vs. P2 105 I've owned both. The geometry is a little different between the two. It it was me, I'd get the one that fit me best. I currently own the P2 with 105 (5800). IMO, the 5800 is as good (actually, I think it's better) as the older Ultegra. Good luck. |

Veteran 2297 Great White North | Subject: RE: Classic P3 vs. P2 105 P3 has a shorter head tube. If your fit/flexibility allows for a low position get the P3 if not P2. No point in having lots of spacers on a p3 when you need 1 or so on a P2. |
