Subject: P2SL w/Dura Ace or Aloha CF2?
I just finished my first triathlon season and completed 3 races.  It's been a great summer and I can't wait to start up again next year and hopefully improve my times.  There are a couple of LBSs in my area, all with 2007 blowout sales.  I'm not interested in buying a top of the line bike quite yet, but I'm not inerested in anything beginner level either.  Does anyone have a preference on the two bikes I listed in the subject line?  I've heard great things about the Cervelo even though it has an aluminum frame.  I haven't heard much about the Fuji, but it is full carbon and can be had for a great price.   Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Try them, that will  tell you a lot.

For what it's worth, I think Dura ace is a waste of money, however, it is BAD and if I had the cash I would probably not say this.  In fact, I don't think I'll resist SRAM RED much longer...anyways...

They're both nice bikes.  The P2SL has more of a name snobbyness to it.

Again, ride them.  It's more important.

 

PS- I'm wicked jealous.

Ride them both and see which one fits you better/is more comfortable. The P2sl has a great reputation but Fuji has improved their product line over the past few years.

i'm all for smaller brands (i ride blue), but in this case if it fits i would hands down go with the p2, you are getting a much bette frame and customer service with that choice.

You really think the Al P2SL is a better frame then the carbon CF2?
